Hi folks,
As many of you know, I'm in a doctoral program in Education. This semester I'm taking a course called "Critical Inquiry." Here is part of my homework for this week:
Quote:
4. Ask three other people for their definition of education, record them, classify them and then assess them.
5. Ask three other people who should determine the curriculum for public schools and why, i.e. ask them their reasons for their answer.

Naturally, I could ask friends and family locally, but I thought it would be more interesting to ask you folks, as you are an international community, and pretty smart folks, as well. I thought I might get more diversity of responses this way.
The assignment is due Tuesday.
Thanks for any input!
Edit: Note that in the US, "public schools" means schools paid for with state or city funding, open to all students living within the region of the school district, attended during the day. (I know the meaning of this phrase is different in the U.K.)
