Hi all,

The dictionary meaning of Education is “to know and impart”.
Does it prepare aperson to face the world? Do we know what education system is to attain? Out of education, what has happened to us is that-to get a degree and find a job. Our education system is oriented to get jobs.
Today Education system is based on memorizing facts like in History- when was the war fought? How many died?Etc. If you do not know the answers then you fail.

Education system means to know,to be aware; but of what?

i guess that when we impart knowledge to our kids we must not forget to tell them the wisdom behind it. an educated person may not have wisdom. i wonder if enhancing our kids problem solving skills will help lay a foundation for the attainment of wisdom or is only experience that does that.

I agree that lots of knowledge and awareness will not bring wisdom on its own.As knowing about past wars didn’t stop us from fighting new ones.Maybe beacouse the morals we pass on to our children are weaker and weaker.Educational system almost makes sure that the lines between right and wrong or good and evil are blured.But that’s were we need to come in as parents to help our kids understand the world around them.
By the way for those interested:
Bibles definition of wisdom-Fear of God is the begining of Wisdom.

i would agree with your statement.
the value of a life has been lost today and history keeps repeating itself.
we must impart wisdom so that each child one by one can help change the world.
fear of God would lead to wisdom. i think gratitude as well.
