"Now what I want is facts!. Teach these boys and girls nothing else but facts! Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them"
( Hard Times Charles Dickens)
So starts the book by Dickens . One i enjoyed immensely. But it does beg the question, what is an ideal education?
Was he so far off base? (the teacher, Mr Gradgrind). it was the 19th Century. Now in the 21st century, have we really progressed. Do kids really get a better education now?
