Who remembers an enjoyable process in the education system? 🤨
Probably not many from my generation. 🙈
I'm not saying there is no such thing as a good school, I'm sure there are some here and there... However, for the most part, the education system generally fails most children (& quite often parents won't even know the extent of how badly) 👀
I do love these ideas from ancient Roman times 💜
"Quintilian believed education should be an enjoyable process of inculcating knowledge into the child. At no point should the child find education distasteful.
In fact, Quintilian stated: I am not however so unacquainted with differences of age as to think that we should urge those of tender years severely, or exact a full complement of work from them; for it will be necessary, above all things, to take care lest the child should conceive a dislike to the application which he cannot yet love, and continue to dread the bitterness which he has once tasted, even beyond the years of infancy. Let his instruction be an amusement to him; let him be questioned and praised, and let him never feel pleased that he does not know a thing; and sometimes, if he is unwilling to learn, let another be taught before him, of whom he may be envious. Let him strive for victory now and then, and generally suppose that he gains it; and let his powers be called forth by rewards, such as that age prizes." - Ron Malhotra, Indoctrinated
