Education is the process by which knowledge is transmitted from teacher to student. When discussing education one must consider the nature of knowledge. Is knowledge absolute, meaning it is true forever, or is it relative, meaning that knowledge will change as times and people change? I believe that knowledge is absolute. When something is proven true, it is true for everyone, no matter what location they inhabit. For example, it is true everywhere that a bowling ball weighs more than a feather. It does not matter if the student learning this lives in Japan or if they live in Scotland. Unlike relative knowledge, which can differ from person to person, absolute knowledge is true for everyone.
