A carpenter will continue to look at you without having anything to gain if you are teaching him philosophy instead, teach him how to use a saw and tape rule and you will see him learn very fast.

If you judge an elephant by its ability to swim you will be making a huge mistake. Personally, I feel that schools kill people's creativity by trying to train diverse minds with a streamlined curriculum.

Skills and crafts should be encouraged in our schools. This may, to a large extent, make learning much more fun and productive.
