Sweeping my mind - philosophy - Part 6 ^

What happens in the teaching/learning process?

• Acquring
Things
People
• Accepting
Acceptance
Rejection

A child has to be given something in order to begin life just like the seed therefore the first step would be that of Giving. Then after you have planted the seed it needs to be nurtured and cared for thus the second step is that of Nurturing. Finally or rather to begin with one has taken roots for itself and has began to grow, therefore, I would not say the third and last but perhaps it may be: Growing.

• Giving
• Nuturing
• Growing


Can moral values be taught? Should they? If so, what values should be taught, and how?

Yes, values that need to be cultivated so as to live in this world therefore, values such as love, peace, harmony, cleanliness, goodness, politeness, punctuality. We see that there is a categories like right/wrong, good/bad, true/false but I wouldn’t like to fetch these ideas although I appreciate them.
I would also say contradictory to the above,
No, values need not be taught but needs to be caught; therefore witness given by the elders and others gives a boost to the spirit of the soul and one is committed to the action produced by cultivation.

How would you proceed in education?

 Giving space just like the world is set in space.
 Believing in the other just like the supreme has in us human beings.
 Keeping the old and accepting the new.
 Shifting from indoctrination to education.
 Learning with love.
 Delearning and Relearning.
 Creating and Producing.
 Holding on to creativity and innovativeness.
 Going hand-in-hand with the universality as well as the particular.
 Method of words, language, and skills.
 Drawing balance in life and other things.
 Grappling with questions and life.
 Sending positive vibes.
 Coping and encouraging the practices of equality among students.
 Treating everyone as friends and our very own.
 Above all by being an example and model

What techniques would you employ?

The different techniques that I would propose would be:

 Play - Learn.
 See - Learn.
 Ask - Learn.
 Seek & Struggle - Learn.
 Push Theory.
 Mistake - Learn.
 Free - Learn.
 Experience - Learn.
 Knowledge - Learn.
 Wisdom - Learn.
 Love - Learn.

These are the few keywords that came to my mind and I penned them down. These are what I propose but they need not be a full fletched ways or techniques of proceeding into education, that match your thinking or even the universal, you are even free to criticize it and even add to these lists.
