The Goal Of Education Is To Help

The Biggest Communities In Which Young People Now Reside Are Online Communities.

A Continuing Conversation With Other Persons, With Cultural Products, And With Oneself, Is A Large Part Of What It Means To Be A Human Being, In Our Time And Perhaps In All Time.

The Biggest Mistake Of Past Centuries In Teaching Has Been To Treat All Students As If They Were Variants Of The Same Individual And Thus To Feel Justified In Teaching Them All The Same Subjects The Same Way.

Don't Assume That The Way That One Searches And Researches Is The Same From One Era To Another - It Isn't. In The 19th Century, Most Research Was Done By Amateurs: Either Individuals Who Were Rich Or Individuals Who Had A Day Job. In The 20th Century, Most Researchers Worked At Universities Or Think Tanks And Received Money From The Government Or From Foundations To Pursue Their Work. In Our Time, The Sources Of Support And The Locations For Research May Be Quite Different.

I Think That Any Important Educational Goal Can Be Realized Via Several Routes.
