“There have been many measures taken to try to turn the educational system towards more control, more indoctrination, more vocational training, imposing a debt, which traps students and young people into a life of conformity... That's the exact opposite of [what] traditionally comes out of The Enlightenment. And there's a constant struggle between those. In the colleges, in the schools, do you train for passing tests, or do you train for creative inquiry?” PeopleTryingHas BeensSchoolYoungTurnsStruggleCreativeTakenStudentsCollegeTrainingEnlightenmentTestsOppositesConstantTrainEducationalDebtPassingPassingsConformityTrapsInquiryImposingIndoctrinationEducational SystemConstant StruggleVocational TrainingPassing A Test Author:Noam Chomsky
“Concealed in every new situation we face is a spiritual lesson to be learned and a spiritual blessing for us if we learn that lesson. It is good to be tested. We grow and learn through passing tests. I look upon all my tests as good experiences. Before I was tested, I believed I would act in a loving or non-fearing way. After I was tested, I knew! Every test turned out to be an uplifting experience. And it is not important that the outcome be according to our wishes.” IfsWayLooksImportantFacesSpiritualWishGrowsSituationLessonsBlessingTestsPassingPassingsUpliftingOutcomesLook UpTestedConcealedGood ExperiencesNew SituationsLessons To Be LearnedSpiritual BlessingsPassing A Test Author:Peace Pilgrim

Maybe we should stop talking about intelligence and start discussing our grades in compassion.” KnowsShouldMindPersonsWarEnoughCareHumanityTalkingCompassionWonderBearsNewsGunTestsRewardsPassingPassingsGradesTonightTargetDiscussingPassing A Test Author:Paige
