Having once learned to communi cate verbally a child need not be forced into any furthe r learning . He will learn naturally . No one escapes the questioning mind of a child. He wants to know everything from how he got here to where the sun goes at night . The only instruction he needs is in the techniques of finding the in- formation to ans wer ques ti ons . Eventually his he will discover the area of study whic h interests him most. Through selfmotivated study and desire he will become a fun ctioning an d contributin g member of society . The present educational system is based upon an authority figure commonly known as a teacher . The five year old is greeted on his first day of kindergarten by this all-knowing creature who decides when he should have milk and cookies , go to the bathroom , take a nap , play, aM , above all , when he dare sDeak . The teacher 's weaoons range from sheer physical force to the ability to alienate the child from his classmates. The res ult of such a system is a non -creative , non-imaginati ve , non-thinking being who can be led along any path by any author- ity figure nea r at hand . The process is reinf orced over a twelveyear span , the last four years of which are known as high school. Don 't think it all stops there . Wha t are the advantages of such a system? Examine yourself for the answer . Can you recall th e last time you questioned th e values and pri oriti es of your coun try ? Do you hones tly believe you could do anything to change those values? Have you been taught the proper tech niques and channels for influencing governm ent policy decisions? Why do you suppose you weren 't ta ught these things ? The syste m , as it exists today , offers no advantages to the individual , but it does allow society to pr oceed with minor difficulty irom one military disaster to another with the destr uction of the environment and the red uction of human beings to computer slaves as by-products . Ask yourself one last question . Why are you an unquestioning indivi dual unabl e to think or act for yourself? You are tomorrow 's parent s and , even more Import antly , tomorrow 's teachers . The pres ent educationa l system must be altered if our schools are to produce creative , thinking , and happy indiv iduals . You can evoke that change. In fact it is your responsibility . Think about it. ' A.
