From Dr. Grant April 2022

Let the main object of education be to seek and to establish a method of instruction, by which

teachers

may

teach

less,

but

learners

learn more....True education does not consist in stuffing

heads

with

a

mass

of

words,

sentences, and ideas dragged together out of sundry

authors,

but

in

opening

up

an

understanding of the outer world, so that living streams

may

flow

from

each

mind,

just

as

leaves, flowers, and fruit spring from the bud of a tree.

–– Jan Amos Comenius (1592 – 1670)
