Chapter 16:  The Tower - The Spirit Of Education

In this podiobook: What is education?  It's a term we use every day to describe the process of putting 25 or 30 young souls into a cinder block room and filling their heads with what-all over the course of the first quarter of their lives.  But is that education? 

True education is not a process of pouring in from without, but of calling forth what is within.  It's not a process of memorization, it's a process of nurturing, of allowing, of evoking.  It's a process of bringing forth the person one is meant to be.

"...one of those books that provides a banquet, not a morsel, of food for thought."  --education review
