On Education

"A Student should emerge from from such a general education with a knowledge of how problems, whether of life or science or art, have been treated, and with some insight therefore into how problems may be treated; and joined to that knowledge, he should possess and ability to understand positions other than his own, to present his own convictions relevantly, lucidly, and cogently, and finally to apply informed critical standards to his own arguments and those advances by others." 
-Richard McKeon, "Education and the Disciples," Ethics 47 (1937):377


I just started a Math Ed Course. I think this is gonna be fun.
