ふと頭に浮かんだこと①

2019-06-30 | 英語の学習
As an educator myself, I sometimes wonder what education is all about. And I always think that the success of education should not be measured by the amount of knowledge, scores of some tests, nor the kind of job one gets. Below are the quotes of a couple of wise men in history telling us what education is all about and I do agree with their thoughts. I wonder if you would feel the same?

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what has learned in school.
(Albert Einstein)

(Nanoの訳)
エジュケーション(教育・教養)とは、人が学校で学んだことを忘れた後に残るもののことをいう。
(アルベルト・アインシュタイン)

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.
(Martin Luther King, Jr.)

(Nanoの訳)
教育が果たす役割とは、人に物事を集中して考えさせ、また、それらを批判的・客観的に考えさせることである。知性、そして、それに加えて人格を育成すること、それこそが真の教育の目的である。
(マーティン・ルーサー・キング・ジュニア)

Do they make sense to you? I hope you will read them many times and remember those words so that you can possibly tell them to your friends word for word.

Have a great weekend, my friends!
