[Education] cannot be done by gathering or ‘accessing’ what we now call ‘information’.

The complexity of our present trouble suggests as never before that we need to change our present concept of education. … This cannot be done by gathering or “accessing” what we now call “information” – which is to say facts without context and therefore without priority. A proper education enables young people to put their lives in order, which means knowing what things are more important than other things; it means putting first things first. Wendell Berry.
