The Education System is in crisis because it teaches intelligence without wisdom, knowledge without reason & definition without meaning.
The education system is in crisis because instead of being a system that educates people, it is a system that educates people into a system of education.
It is a system that is flush with knowledge but devoid of wisdom.
The education system is in crisis because it teaches intelligence, which is knowledge, without intellect, which is reasoning.
In an education system that sees the Teacher as an Intellectual and the Student as the recipient of the teacher’s intelligence, there will always be a crisis of confidence.
Students can have no confidence in the intelligence of the Teacher without the intellectual capacity of reasoning.
Without meaning, reason & purpose, intelligence makes no sense.
Unless the student has a reason to understand the purpose & meaning of their education, it has no value to them.
The education system is in crisis because it offers little value to the majority of children, even though their parents have been educated to believe that it has great value for all children.
The education system is in crisis because it is designed purely to secure people a job in the workplace rather than defining the meaning & purpose to individual lives.
It serves the benefit of an intellectual controlling elite governing body of employers by determining whether a student is employable in the workplace or not.
The education system is in crisis because it is a rational system devoid of emotional intelligence & creative imagination.
Until our educators can imagine a creative system designed for the development of each individual student, the education system will remain in potential crisis.
