“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” – Plato.
I feel education is about understanding the differences, prejudices and truths and still having the quest for forming all those rational opinions which will lead one to his/her determined path.
