教育的目的應是教我們怎麼思考,而不是該思考什麼,應是改善我們的心智,好讓我們能為自己思考,而不是將他人的想法裝在我們的記憶裡。“The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think — rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.”

“The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think — rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.”
– John Dewey, Philosopher
