There doesn't seem to be much emphasis placed on the role of parents in the education of the child here. I would prefer a philosophy of education which inculcates only that which is conducive to productivity, and for other forms of maturity to be left to an individuals guardianship. Thank you for all of your great work!
I wonder what will happen as the economy shifts downward and the cost of education increases, will we have a generation the does not fit the expected educational trajectory and what effect it will have on our society?
Question 2. Since education covers pre-k through high school (and beyond) at what point in this lecture are educators teaching defining tangible realities vs “supernatural” realities are? Are ethics and morals only found in the natural world? Young children are not capable of abstract and critical thinking in the way teens and young adults are so teaching young children that nothing exists outside of what they can touch and see is disingenuous. Didn’t John Dewy resist the platonic approach to education? Teachers shouldn’t be philosophy kings, confining children to view the world as they see fit. Teaching reading, writing, math, history, or even science, doesn’t require teachers to make statements about spiritual beliefs and practices.
Words should be studied like we study numbers Technical drawing(art) and music are as important as languages and math, Multiple languages Linguistics should start when algebra is introduced to a child, when coding is introduced to a child In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word is God
