The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.
-Jean Piaget, quoted in Education for Democracy, Proceedings from the Cambridge School Conference on Progressive Education
The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done -- men who are creative, inventive and discoverers.
If you want to be creative, stay in part a child, with the creativity and invention that characterizes children before they are deformed by adult society.
