The Lifestyle Chronicles - Learning

Not all people learn the same way so education must take a variety of forms. Information must be reliable and consistent, as far as the discovery of new facts will allow. Receiving information from respected authority is helpful. It helps to reinforce information and to put information to use. Entertainment and education are productive partners. People, including children, learn from their peers. Facts need interpretation that stimulate people to learn.

I spent years in school at a variety of universities and hospitals and many years working in academic medicine. Every good educator I have known did not teach as much as stimulate students to learn.
