“Emile”, and on Making of Middle Schools

On the purpose of education, theory with education, needing both, for learning, to serve its, full, purpose, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote the most important volume, “Emile” on the philosophy of education in the west, in the book, he’d criticized the caste system of France and its education systems, it’d, angered the nobles, and they’d, banned the book, and the copies were, burned, while Rousseau was forced into exile because of what he’d written.  Rousseau only used his words, and it’d, turned the French government upside down, truly, this wasn’t, easy to accomplish.

In the book, Rousseau described what he’d called as “negative education”, to stress that education should never be used as a means to help someone become civilized, that instead, it should help free the younger generations from the evils of civilization.  This volume is now used as a fundamental for modern day child psychology.  In it, it’d mentioned “real education is not in the words but the actions”, and it’d affected the modern day father of education, Dewey’s “learning while doing”, in his book, “Democracy & Education”, Dewey took democracy into the classroom setting, while in “Emile”, it’d provided the plans and the rules and the principles, which encouraged the students to become independent thinkers, to learn while doing.

As the end of the World War in 1919, Dewey’s student, Shih Hu invited him to China for an interview, the fifth day that Dewey arrived the May 4^th Movement happened.  He bore witness to how the college students marched onto the streets to protest about the military government’s rule, along with the sympathies toward the students and the support from all around.  Dewey was more than excited then, he’d watched this movement passionately, wrote to his own children, stated, “we’d never learned as hard, nor as much in the past four months.  Especially in the last month, there’s, too much to take in.”  the May Fourth Movement was incited by World War One, which alerted the Chinese that they needed a change, and it’s the weaker nation’s finding its own voice, to be, heard, hoping to be treated as equals to the world’s major powers.  This movement became a revolution of thought for the new country, while the students of the Beijing University put the theories into practice, freeing the entire realm of education in China.

Dewey had followed after Rousseau’s belief, “Nature wanted children to act as children before they became, adults”, while my doctoral professor, Professor Lazowska believed, that learning is a continual activity until death, that we should always, keep our hearts, young.  The magazine “Communications of ACM” interviewed Lazowska.  He was asked, “what’s the difference in on area of calculator science in methods of education, now, five years ago, a decade ago, even, two decades ago?”  Lazowska said there wasn’t any difference.  That “the appointing professor’s task is merely to help students find their own process of discovery.”  Children were born with the ability to discover the world around them, but unfortunately, as they’d become adults, they’d, lost that ability as an instinct.  And so, our jobs as professors were merely, to help them become children again, to help them regain what they held back at age four: “the ability to discover new things.”

Lazowska’s trying to find back the “abilities we had at age four” helped guided me to discover how to discover.  I’d lacked the wisdom, to learn everything that Lazowska had to teach me, but I’d felt his logic, and ma grateful for his teaching.  While in my training to earn my doctorate, I’d found, that learning through doing, IS, the best way, to learn.

And so, this is, putting what you learned, in the theories, into, practice, because, with only just either, you wouldn’t get the whole picture of things, and you must have theory AND application, to become, fully, educated as a human being.
