Education And Instruction: Near Antipodes Cut Out For Cross Fertilization
Alan: Most "educated" people confuse education with instruction.
They do this because they have been instructed, but not educated.
"Education" derives from the Latin "ex ducare" and "leads out of" preemptive concern with individual good (which is the widespread outcome of "rugged individualism"), and instead focuses our primary attention on The Common Good (aka The General Welfare).
In brief, "education" is social and collaborative, whereas "instruction" is individualistic and isolating.
"Instruction," on the other hand, derives from the Latin "in struire" and refers to a process that "builds facts, information and skill-sets into" atomized and isolated individuals, enabling, and often encouraging, them to make their private way in the world.
On their own independently, rather than inter-dependently.
On their own independently, rather than inter-dependently.
Without education, instruction (i.e., America's default learning method) undermines The Common Good by teaching people to treat the world as a money (or-private-resource) mine to be exploited like "49-ers" staking individualized private claims for personal advantage.
The goals of education and instruction are essentially antipodal, although instruction can (and should) be subsumed by the "service orientation" that is central to education.
