“I never let my schooling interfere with my

education.”

Mark Twainhttp://www.richardsnotes.org/archives/2004/03/25/schooling-vs-education/

So What is Education?

Is it a high school diploma, a GED, a bachelor’s or even a Master’s degree?

You can be well educated without having any of these things, If you know what Education

means!

Education Any process that shapes the potential of a

maturing organism Determined by the knowledge skills or discipline

of character Basic skills, academics, technical, discipline,

citizenship Using inspiration, visionary ambitions, creativity,

risk, ability to bounce back from failure, motivation

Education can come from:

Reading Travel Watching videos or TV Asking questions

Getting an Education Not given an education by attending school

Education is not a spectator sport

Self directed

Learning can only be done by the student

Teachers can not insure the student remembers a thing

To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks.  ~A.A. Milne

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.  ~Will Durant

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.  ~John Dewey

An Educated person is one that not only knows where to find the information one needs to know, but also is able to use that information productively!

We learn...10% of what we read20% of what we hear30% of what we see50% of what we both hear and see70% of what is discussed80% of what we experience personally95% of what we teach to someone else– William Glasser

Education can not be Tested Test can not measure intelligence or ability

How the mind processes information How motivating experiences develop

persistence How the mind sorts out instincts, opinions,

evaluations, possibilities or alternatives

“Knowledge has not value, it’s like a dictionary filled with words.”

Words by themselves have no value, it requires putting them together to have

value “Knowledge only has value when used with

a process and process in an artificial environment is not predictable or

measurable”

The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education ... (and) the object and

reward of learning is continued capacity for growth. Now this idea cannot be applied to all the members of a society except where intercourse of man with man is mutual, and except where there

is adequate provision for the reconstruction of social habits and institutions by means of wide stimulation arising from equitably distributed

interests. And this means a democratic society. John Dewey

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

William Butler Yeats

Schooling The process of molding minds and behaviors

according to the interest of some particular group. Teacher is doing the drawing out of what they believe

to be in the best interest of the child Authority required to decide what is going to be

counted as correct Memory and academic Not a choice Access to learn, does not have to learn

“My education was interrupted only by

my schooling” Winston Churchill

Teaching to a test does not inspire or motivate

anyone

memorizing does not inspire a love to learn, it turns off the desire to learn

Standardized tests are creating failure labels

Tests label everyone that is enable to put thoughts on paper as a failure!

What is exercised grows stronger, what is ignored stays dormant

School stresses academics, leaving natural skills out

“Your schooling may be over, but

remember that your education still

continues”

Differences Between Education

Potential to challenge freedom of thought Individual chooses

because of interest One forms own

judgment Depends on dialogue

between people as equals

Schooling

Doing what you are told Leading the individual to

follow the teacher’s directions

Differences Freedom

Education is the antithesis of Schooling Opposites

“Education is what remains after one

has forgotten everything he

learned in school.”

Distinctive but interrelated Education has to do with the processes of learning Schooling is the means by which social, political and economic

factors shape the learning environment They help to understand how societal values and social

policies influence decisions regarding what to teach, how to teach, and when to teach children.

School is one location that education can take place Education is what remains after one has forgotten

everything he learned in school. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
