The question in education is ALWAYS the underlying motivations in any taught situation. A good teacher is one who can confer that the subject they teach is relevant, and relate it to the set of rules by which the teacher's audience think they live. Then, what they teach has meaning.

Education, in it's true sense ,(IMHO), is mind expansion - learning to look at life through another person'seyes (and brain). Education is an extension of the brain, first within itself, then with people nearby, and finally with people you have never met.

Somehow I feel that, until you start to think of all the people that you have not met yet, you don't quite make the category of being a member of the human race. You become a person who doesn't want to meet new people. But that's just me on a slightly fascist bent,  which, for the moment, for some unexplained reason, seems perfectly logical

The 'what-if' attitude.  There's this grey land between science and art, in which fact and fiction compete for our attention.

One polar extreme is about what we think we've got, and the other is about what we think we could have.

The oscillation between these two views is actually the alternating current of reality.

Whistler: "You will, Oscar, you will...."

Good line, Sven.

I like this Irish saying: "A stranger is a friend one has not yet met"
