SOAR

Selected Observations for Analysis and Reflection

 

Department of Elementary and Special Education

 

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.
