Educators' prime objective

Agree with the statement, but I am not sure what you are posing to discuss.

Thanks Bridgeit.( Did you know Saint Bridget was midwife to Mary ?)

I was looking to read some objections which are useful for sharpening up arguments.

The literal meaning of the the verb "to educate" is to "lead out" or to bring out the innate abilities of the pupil. That does involve feeding ideas and facts as catalysts, but should not deteriorate into stuffing them full of predigested attitudes and data, to be regurgitated on demand.

No I didn’t, ( more info please ) but I do know no one would want me as a midwife😄

Bridgeit, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbolc

pagan roots. Fertility.

Elegran too, above poetically and unintentionally describes midwifery .

Perhaps the prime "purpose" of education should be:
"to nurture and bring up our children to be kind, thoughtful, caring citizens, who have a sense of purpose about their own formal learning, and a commitment to looking after others as well as taking care of their own health, alongside developing a positive work ethic. To be literate, numerate, and motivated to have a life-long interest in both the pursuit and acquisition of knowledge. To have a continued sense of wonder in, interest about, and support for our world and all living things, alongside a clear understanding of the sciences and appreciation of the arts." Just a thought! (I concede that this could probably be better expressed.)

Thank you , that explains why I like a party every once in a while.

Perfectly expressed Davida1968, thank you
