Evening: Psalm 119:121-144; Luke 10:17-24
Yesterday, CBC radio reported about the controversial quad-mester system being used in Ontario schools. The host and a teacher talked about education as communicating quantities of information. Our society may think wisdom and intelligence are about knowing a lot. But wisdom is how well you understand, a spiritual quality, a knowing that cannot be taught by downloading information. You can get information on the internet, but not wisdom. I long for our schools to help children explore the question that is hidden from the so-called ‘wise and intelligent’ ... How shall we use well all that we know?
