Overview
The proper goal of education is to foster the conceptual development of the child-to instill in him the knowledge and cognitive powers needed for mature life.
It involves taking the whole of human knowledge, selecting that which is essential to the child`s conceptual development, presenting it in a way that allows the student to clearly grasp both the material itself and its value to his life, and thereby supplying him with both crucial knowledge and the rational thinking skills that will enable him to acquire real knowledge ever after.
This is a truly progressive education-and parents and students should settle for nothing less.
