To be human is to feel at times divided, fractured, pulled in a dozen directions … and to yearn for serenity, for some healing of our ‘torn-to-pieces-hood.’

John Moore: It’s the older generation that’s entitled, not students
Setting aside the fact that this intergenerational hectoring dates back to Socrates, let us ask: Who exactly is making the charge? Quebec has had low tuition rates for a half century. That means almost every living adult in the province, having already been afforded a plum goodie, is now wagging his finger at the first generation that will be asked to pay the tab. So who really is entitled here?
This must be what a “travesty” looks like.
Cost-cutting? Ratings? Whatever the reasons are — what a shame. But at least dignity and grace prevail.

Information does not imply meaning, or knowledge, or – much less – wisdom. And, meanwhile, we can find meaning where we can. We’re engaging in a project of organizing knowledge, sorting it, filtering it, reviewing it. We need to remind ourselves that this project has been underway for many centuries, and it’s never going to end. It is subjective, and imperfect, and unstable.

Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself.

Personality, character, is more than subject-matter. Not knowledge or information, but self-realization, is the goal.
