What Is MODERN EDUCATION? - Lynn E Torrance - August 1960

Lynn E Torrance

Here is the Basic Philosophy underlying modern education! Where, when, by whom did it originate? Here is the answer from the English Department at Ambassador. DO YOU KNOW what modern educators teach? Most people assume they teach your children the way to a happy abundant life. Most assume they build the right character in the EAGER minds of your children. That they teach your children to know God. But none of these assumptions are true! What MODERN Educators Believe. Leading American educators believe in a type of "FREE ACTIVITY" in which the child is allowed to develop by doing as he pleases. They teach your children to believe that the child can CREATE his own TRUTH by determining - through his own EXPERIENCE - what he wants to accept as truth. The child is taught to evaluate human experience solely by its "pragmatic value," that is - WHAT USE IS IT TO THE SELF? In PLAIN ENGLISH - your child is TAUGHT to ask, "WHAT'S in it for ME?" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
