Education isn’t what some people declare it to be, namely, putting knowledge into souls that lack it, like putting sight into blind eyes…The power to learn is present in everyone’s soul and…the instrument with which each learns is like an eye that cannot be turned around from darkness to light without turning the whole body… Then education is the craft concerned with doing this very thing, this turning around, and with how the soul can most easily and effectively be made to do it. it isn’t the craft of putting sight into the soul. Education take for granted that sight is there but that it isn’t turned the right way or looking where it ought to look, and it tries to redirect it appropriately.
