Thinking: A Neglected Art (1)

Thinking: A Neglected Art (1)

by wholesale replica handbags | post a comment

It is generally agreed that the American education system is in deep trouble. Everyone is aware of the horrible facts: school systems are running out of money, teachers can’t spell, wholesale replica designer handbags, students can’t read, high school graduates can’t even find China on the map.
Most of us know, or think we know, who is to blame: liberal courts, spineless school boards, ridiculous government regulations. It’s easy to select a bad guy.
But possibly the problem lies not so much in our institutions as in our attitudes. It is sad that although most of us claim that we believe in education, wholesale designer handbags, we place no value on intellectual activity.
We Americans are a charitable and humane people: We have institutions devoted to every good cause from rescuing homeless cats to preventing World War Ⅲ,. But what have we done to promote the art of thinking? Certainly we make no room for thought in our daily lives. Suppose a man were to say to his friends, “I’m not going to PTA tonight (or the baseball game, or whatever) because I need some time to myself, wholesale coach handbags, some time to think? ”Such a man would be shunned by his neighbors; his family would be ashamed of him. What if a teenager were to say, “I’m not going to the dance tonight because I need some time to think”? his parents would immediately start looking in the Yellow Pages for a psychiatrist.
