Another smaller item to watch out for, be careful of, has to do with Wisdom.
Something I noticed about Wisdom itself, is that trying to pass it on to others can be a very tricky business indeed. The thing about wisdom is that it is not all-encompassing because wisdom is gained from experience, personally. Your wisdom and my wisdom are as unique as our personalities and our life experiences. Nobody walks the exact path in life with another so wisdom gained will never be exactly the same. Thus, any wisdom imparted to another is wisdom as it is to the one making the statement. For people that need to hang onto those wise sayings it could result in turmoil causing stress and conflict. Work hard in life and you will be rewarded So you give it everything you have and still struggle, thus you figure it can be one of two things, either you are doing it wrong or the wisdom is wrong. Since you see others succeeding, you assume you are doing it wrong, stress builds, its creates conflict, contentment is difficult to obtain. I disagree with a lot of what you said, to one extent or another. For example, I would say that there is a TREMENDOUS difference between someone with 'wisdom and knowledge' and 'someone with a knack for memory of tidbits.' The latter are entirely incapable of successfully performing any task whatsoever which requires knowledge of the subject area. That's rather a significant difference.
In addition, since you use the term "the centrally planned, theft from taxpayers funded, school system" to refer to what I presume are public schools, that tells me that you are coming from a pure propaganda viewpoint, and have no accurate knowledge or understanding of any American public schools at all. You have substituted memorized dogma for factual information AND for knowledge. That in turn, is WHY you offer no solutions, because your dogma based definitions of public school systems directly define them as hopeless, without providing any factual or logical supporting proof whatsoever. WOW, I can agree with that. So "how can the school system better reinforce the latter?"
Based on the current system in place the only ~~real~~(possible) options are: - Increase severity of punishment for not learning. - Imply greater future threats for not learning. - Increase sheer volume of work throughput and applicability. - Keep students on campus for greater amounts of time to control all aspects of behavior. - Manipulate the information to a more pleasing format offering a false patina of fulfillment and achievement. - Increase social dependence on faculty/teachers so fulfilling role expectations overshadow peer group expectations. - Increase severity of punishment for not learning. Uses a negative to attempt to motivate a positive outcome - Imply greater future threats for not learning. Uses a negative to attempt to motivate a positive outcome - Increase sheer volume of work throughput and applicability. Creates a potential "burn out" condition that could reduce retention - Keep students on campus for greater amounts of time to control all aspects of behavior. Creates a potential "burn out" condition that could reduce retention Jeopardizes individual thought and imagination, affecting the inspiration/quest for knowledge - Manipulate the information to a more pleasing format offering a false patina of fulfillment and achievement. Manipulate the information to a more pleasing format offering suggestions for finding fulfillment and achievement. - Increase social dependence on faculty/teachers so fulfilling role expectations overshadow peer group expectations. Reward faculty/teacher's independence and creativity as acknowledgement of their professionalism. Learning is not the problem. We start learning as soon as we are born and start interacting with our environment. A baby learns to cry when it is hungry, learns that crying brings mother and comfort. This is learning based on positive results. Even children that misbehave have learned that the get attention from that behavior and that attention is construed as a positive result, even if it hurts. Learning should be rewarded with positive results to instill a positive outlook on life. - Include the reason for needing to learn a given subject to allow the student to understand why it is so important to learn it. - Explain the difference between 'required' and 'elective' classes and why they are important. What is a word for a person who constantly speaks negatively? Pessimism is a mental attitude. Pessimists anticipate undesirable outcomes from a given situation which is generally referred to as situational pessimism or believes that undesirable things are going to happen to them in life more than desirable ones. Pessimists also tend to focus on the negatives of life in general or a given situation. The most common example of this phenomenon is the "Is the glass half empty or half full?" situation. In this situation a pessimist is said to see the glass as half empty while an optimist is said to see the glass as half full. Throughout history, the pessimistic disposition has had effects on all major areas of thinking.[1]

Philosophical pessimism is the related idea that views the world in a strictly anti-optimistic fashion. This form of pessimism is not an emotional disposition as the term commonly connotes. Instead, it is a philosophy or worldview that directly challenges the notion of progress and what may be considered the faith-based claims of optimism. Philosophical pessimists are often existential nihilists believing that life has no intrinsic meaning or value. Their responses to this condition, however, are widely varied and often life-affirming. synonyms: defeatist, fatalist, prophet of doom, cynic, doomsayer, doomster, Cassandra; skeptic, doubter, doubting Thomas; misery, miserablist, killjoy, Job's comforter; informaldoom (and gloom) merchant, wet blanket, Chicken Little, gloomy Gus In a world that is full of cynicism, an optimistic learning environment refreshes the 'will' to learn. |

Wow ... so many good answers ... but I believe it may be a little different with the age... of students ...
I always thought knowledge came wisdom ... I believe some remember to have the knowledge ... but others just memorize ... to get them through ... but memorizing and keeping that knowledge is what ... they should be taught ... but we are manly in a system ... of instant gratification ... and not meaningful learning ... meaning... they are being pushed through ... a lot with out the knowledge ... just a example ... you have received a scholarship for sports or something else ... but you have to keep your grades up ... young and older in schools... to keep those scholarships ... or to be able to do things you want ... in some of these different groups ... but I do not believe we just want that for those groups ... we want all students to succeed ... but sometimes with teachers... they do not care ... and tell children in negative ways they will not make it through ... and just think if they are getting negative at home ... how will that child make it ... who can they turn to ... |

Education comes from the Latin word 'educe' which means to 'draw out', I presume this means from within.(I got from dictionary)
Wisdom, comes from the word to 'see'.(Also dictionary) Knowledge, what that society actually knows, content.(My opinion) Understanding, the context and setting for that knowledge, foresight, hindsight, insight etc.(My opinion) All information has use, but not all information is useful(personal).(My opinion) Mostly an educational system is just going to reflect the needs of the society it's in. The society is going to determine what it needs and wants and manufactures it's youth accordingly. I know that sounds mechanical, but the purpose of such institutes is to pass on knowledge and development of that society to the next generation. Hopefully in a way that is evolutionary with the surrounding dynamics and environments that society finds itself in. Therefore education is a fluid and dynamic term, not fixed. An educational system best acts in it's own interest for growth, development, self preservation and evolution. It's intelligent, grows and adapts, and behaves a lot like a human body would, dipping backwards and forwards using a combination of memory and foresight to make sense of the constantly changing world that is going on around it (us). And give the host the best chance for thrive-ability or survivability over probability now and in the future. |
