Goal of education

A quote from Clay Burrell's blog:

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. –Piaget

Critical thinking...

I may not be the best at this yet, but I am working on it. If we can get kids to look at new information in a different way, connect it to past information, and evaluate it critically...
