A healthy and ideal system of education would be where a teacher would patiently impart knowledge, instead of curriculum, upon the students, only after assessing their acceptability — where a student would acquire knowledge in order to learn, not to earn — where the parents would be willing to make necessary sacrifices in order to adorn their child with curiosity and thereafter nourish that curiosity, regardless of how absurdly impractical it becomes to the eyes of the society.

About This Quote

In the quote above, the author is talking about a system of education that is based on love and not on a test. In this system, a teacher is willing to have patience when teaching a student. He or she assesses the student before giving them instruction. The teacher also assesses the parents of the students so they can be sure this person is suitable to teach their child.

In this system, children are not trained but educated. In other words, they are taught in a way that makes them more loving towards themselves and others, and more accepting of different ways of thinking.
