What true Education should do by Sydney J. Harris

"Education is the central word in the text. It is about true education or the ideal education in other words what true education should do.
There are two points of view about education in one hand, many people think of a
student as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing , the teachers are supposed to stuff " education ".It is inserting the stuffings of information into a person. This is the traditional view of Education.
On the other hand , we can find a new perspective where pupils are more like oysters than sausages. The role of the teachers is very important because the job of teaching is not to stuff them it is to help them open and reveal the riches within.
To finish Sidney Harris says " there are pearls in each of us , if only we knew how
to cultivate them with ardor and persistence " .
