What is Education for?
– education should prepare us for the challenges of adult life
– it should serve two fundamental tasks:
1) working 2) sustaining relationships
– learning about various subjects including:
a) capitalism, & dealing with money
b) ourselves – i.e. our own complex psychological make-up & how we are prone to misunderstand ourselves (delusion, defensiveness, projection, denial, their anxieties, friendship skills)
c) career / self-knowledge
d) relationships (being aware of the social & individual cost of every unhappy relationship)
