Knowledge, Learning, Community
The parallel between religion and education, at least historically, is clear. I once commented, "Defenders of the faith have to show why a laying of the hands is essential to their art - an impossible challenge, because it amounts to quantifying the aethereal." Which applies equally to the church and to the school. Dean Shareski writes, "I need to see that learning is the goal. Okay so this may seem obvious but in the daily grind it's easy to become the Pharisees of modern education."
