The Problem With Our Education

The problem with our education is

That we are not building children

To become human beings.

We give them knowledge,

But we do not educate them

In the full sense of the word.

To “educate” means to teach children

How to relate to themselves

And to others properly,

To be one, whole human being.

Instead,

We give them technical information:

How to turn a screw, how to work with a computer,

A little bit of science,

And we send them on their way.

We do not teach children

How to live their lives correctly,

Hence we are faced with a truly

Unhappy generation.
