    Educational webquest related to costs of war - awesome for secondary history! Relates to SOL USII.1 The student will demonstrate skills for historical and geographical analysis and responsible citizenship, including the ability to: i) identify the costs and benefits of specific choices made, including the consequences, both intended and unintended, of the decisions and how people and nations responded to positive and negative incentives.

      This is hard to swallow; seems very pessimistic about human nature.
  • It makes far better sense to reshape ourselves to fit a finite planet than to attempt to reshape the planet to fit our infinite wants.
  • What can be said truthfully is that some knowledge is increasing while other kinds of knowledge are being lost.

  • It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.
  • But capitalism has also failed because it produces too much, shares too little, also at too high a cost to our children and grandchildren.
  • First, all education is environmental education. By what is included or excluded we teach students that they are part of or apart from the natural world.
  • The goal of education is not mastery of subject matter, but of one’s person.

      Wow.  Love this quote, and agree whole-heartedly.
  • knowledge carries with it the responsibility to see that it is well used in the world.
  • Each of these tragedies were possible because of knowledge created for which no one was ultimately responsible. T
  • we cannot say that we know something until we understand the effects of this knowledge on real people and their communities.
  • In this instance what was taught in the business schools and economics departments did not include the value of good communities or the human costs of a narrow destructive economic rationality that valued efficiency and economic abstractions above people and community.
  • What is desperately needed are faculty and administrators who provide role models of integrity, care, thoughtfulness, and institutions that are capable of embodying ideals wholly and completely in all of their operations.
  • Process is important for learning.
  • My point is simply that education is no guarantee of decency, prudence, or wisdom.
  • he modern drive to dominate nature.
  • Ignorance is not a solvable problem, but rather an inescapable part of the human condition. The advance of knowledge always carries with it the advance of some form of ignorance.

    This article was written 20 years ago, but still holds interesting and relevant information about the purpose of education.
