The Fundamental Questions Which Drive The Entire Education Process Must Be

"The FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS Which Drive The Entire Education Process Must Be :
Are The Students Making A Connection To The Material?
Do The Students Feel A Bond With The Knowledge Being Taught?
Does The Student Find The Knowledge Important To Them, Have They Internalized It?"


Wrote memorization is not learning.

Learning means the knowledge has become a part of the person, they have bonded with it, it is a part of them.

If they do not FEEL IT,
if they do not feel A CONNECTION to the material,
it is all just so much background noise,
just more hoops assembly line minded adults force children to jump through.
