Issue 1: Should Schooling be Based on Social Experiences?

I agreed with Hutchins when he said "....the most important branch of education is the education of adults." Learning should not be emphasized only during childhood, but should take place throughout a person's entire life. And the more adults know and learn, the more willing younger children will be willing to take after their educational habits. I liked this quote: "Men are rational animals. They achieve their terrestrial felicity by the use of reason. And this means that they have to use it for their entire lives. To say that they should learn only in childhood would mean that they were human only in childhood." (14) This quote also stuck out: "You cannot expect the slave to show the virtues of a free man unless you first set him free." (12)
