Question

We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. They learn their own language (语言) so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood. They learn history to know something about people they meet every day. What they learn at school is, of course, quite useful, but is that the only reason why they go to school?

No, there is more in education (教育) than just learning facts. We go to school, above all (首要的是), to learn how to learn, so that when we leave school, we can continue (继续) to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever (无论何时) he has to do something new, he will quickly teach himself how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is not able to do something new, or do it badly. So the purpose (目的) of school is not only to teach the students these useful subjects but also teach the way to learn.
