“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities -
that's training or instruction - but is rather
making visible what is hidden as a seed”

Thursday's Quote
Today's quote comes from the English philosopher and statesman (and ultimately saint) Thomas More (1478-1535), on a topic near to my heart:
“Education is not the piling on of learning,
information, data, facts, skills, or abilities -
that's training or instruction - but is rather
making visible what is hidden as a seed”
“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities -
that's training or instruction - but is rather
making visible what is hidden as a seed”
