| As a student teacher myself, I agree with you that these things are taught in schools and that they should be.
But some people would disagree with me, stating that values and morals are to be taught at home and that education is about the mind only.
The probelm we are faced with is that, these concepts are being taught in many schools and with every right. However, the commonly used or colloquial definition of an educated person has nothing to do with being a compassionate, empathetic person.
My question is this. Should we redefine what it means to be an educated person? or should we come up with another term for a person who is both "educated" in the colloquial sense and moral as well? |
