Because of our educations, we trust teachers to guide us to what we need to learn, not necessarily what we want to learn. Our educations aim to prepare us to be productive, thinking, flexible human beings. Once we enter the adult world, our educations are what help us navigate the messaging of poll results, social media, entertainment and marketing.
Our educations help us make room for the voices of poets, the wisdom of the courageous, the experience of elders, and those who tell the hard truth--the very voices that keep us from becoming sheep. We should make certain our educations never stop.
