Proverbs 10:14 Wise men lay up knowledge, but the babbling of a fool brings ruin near.
The definition of education is the changing of a person’s attitude to available information. The reason for examinations is to evaluate the educator’s performance in the changed attitude of those they taught. The problem with this is that exams are conducted against a norm, not to evaluate the educator, but to exam the memory ability of the student in a subject. The changed attitude to information gained is not always examined.
When we look at the education standards we realise that schooling is not properly understood, that literacy is key to gaining information, arithmetic and mathematics is key computations, and logic is required for comprehension. When students demand a 20% credit to a subject before they are examined, makes it clear that they are happy just to pass an exam, because passing the exam is more important than actually understanding the subject. This attitude needs to be corrected through adequate education. Just imagine if the educator’s salary increase was determined on the increased performance of the students? Would this not solve the problem of both the educator and the students?
In the same way so many people are content with their Christian life, exposed to biblical information, but never changing their attitude to life because they have not been educated by the church leadership to do so.
Be encouraged today to allow your attitude to change.
Point to ponder: We learn the lesson when our attitude changes.
Question to consider: Are you the teacher or the student?
