True Education Education, by dictionary definition, is the development of knowledge, skill, ability or character, by teaching, training, study or experience. Two synonyms for education are (I) enlightenment and (2) culture, meaning the qualities, knowledge, and abilities a person obtains through teaching and study. By the same token, an educator, or person whose profession is teaching, does not pour truth or untruth into the minds of others, but draws out their latent abilities and stimulates them to be original and creative. A fundamental function of education is to develop a person's sense of his own value in a cultural context of religion, literature, science, music, and studies of the world. It helps one to participate in the dialogue of the human race. A true educator cannot say to a person, This is what you are as a student": rather, they will say, "how can I help you learn to full capacity?" The creative process is unlimited, and teachers cannot categorize and make comparisons and choices for the student. True education brings ideas alive and makes them universally applicable. Education is a thought transformed into a living, functioning concept. It transfers something from the nature of the teacher into something useful into the life of another. It is always fresh, new, delightful, and full of surprises, and the teacher must be delighted with it in order for it to be delightful to another. Every person is an educator and teacher -- we educate one another, and each need to be open to the freshness of a new idea. Education is a dialogue which makes it possible for an individual to engage in a critical evaluation of the culture surrounding him. It is not a regurgitation of the meaningless which sometimes follows instructors who seek to become educationalists or authorities on the methods and principles of education, and then s with students in exchange for engage in vague grades. Grades do not always represent education. They do not predict character, human compassion, work habits, job security, and certainly not happiness itself. There is much that is more fundamental to education than the parroting of those items easily tested, easily measured, and easily converted into grades. A truly educated person is not necessarily one with a string of degrees behind his name, but one who is teachable, with a child-lik- e wonderment in his ability to learn. There are many methods of learning, and a variety of teaching techniques. Learning cannot be passive, but must be interactive, and may include listening, talking, studying the workings of the subject visually, as well as being able to express how one feels about it. Teachers need to be interpreters of the conversation which goes on about them, helping the student understand what that conversation means and how it can enrich their lives. word-game- majority of residents concerning major problems in Bountiful while serving as councilman, and I will strive to do the same as a county commissioner." he stressed. d ZZZZZIZZi:. in- creased morale in the sheriff s department; establishment of a channel for employees to air to save taxpayers' money rate by reducing the "turnover among deputies: provide a more even distribution of workforce: establish a better working relationship between department heads and deputies; and initiate a fulltime program and a Shafter files for Commission seat 1 gross sales volume by 20 percent & sheriff for Orange County account?" one-ranke- The committment is to train so a person can go to work. -- h - Layton.

GLENN T. Clary has filed for the About once each month a caller will "tip" me concerning a story on an enterprising young man or woman. The caller wall usually say something like. "See, not all teenagers are lazy and driftless creatures who leech off their parents and go running toward the closest marijuana bag w hen times get tough. There's a lot of good young people out there earning a living. Now I know a young man who. . ." And their stories have merit. There's a young man in Kaysvil-I- c who composes songs on Mother's Day, then visits homes to girl in Bountiful who sing for a fee. . . And there's a teen-ag- e has formed a neighborhood maid and cleaning service. But the most intriguing story comes from the Bountiful area. A young man has capitalized on a profitable venture. The problem is that its illegal. His story began in his junior year of high school when a teacher explained the system of stock market options. Since the boys father had an account with a brokerage house and occa-insionally played the stock market, the boy was naturally terested. The teacher explained correctly that a "call" meant that a person was not actually buying a share of stock, but instead was betting that the stock price would increase. In order to buy 100 shares of XYZ Company, a person would have to front some $2,000 to pay for the stock; but for only $200 an investor could buy a call" on XYZ stock, betting that within a period the stock price would go up. If the price went up dramatically, an investor could cash in for an exceptional profit; if the price basically stayed the same or went down, the investor would lose the entire $200. A few weeks later the young man entered the action. Since his name was the same as his fathers (and since his fathers voice wasnt instantly recognizable at the brokerage house), he called the stockbroker, identified himself and purchased calls on 300 shares of RCA stock, betting that the price (then about $32 per share) would increase to $35 within six weeks. The broker took the order and charged his father's account for some $630. "Why RCA?" I asked the young man. "I like rock music," said the boy, "and RCA has some good artists. I especially like a group called Mr. Mister and it records on RCA.

Those who would teach must understand their subject matter well enough to be free of it, and at the same time, comfortable with it. It is impossible to begin learning a piece of for music, example, until it is memorized. In the same manner, any given academic subject matter needs to be studied so thoroughly that one is free to delve into the depths of its meaning, which may be elusive if not approached from a variety of learning methods. Real education occurs when one develops the ability to recognize and respond to any meaningful expression of life in a thinking and reasoning manner. i f |
