RANDOM QUOTE

“There are two levels of knowing
a subject. There is the student
who knows what the definition of
a noun or a gene or
a molecule is; then there is
the student... who also knows how
the definition was arrived at. There
is the student who can answer
a question; then there is the
student who also knows what are
the biases of the question. There
is the student who can give
you the facts; then there is
the student who also knows what
is meant by a fact. I
am maintaining that, in all cases,
it is the latter who has
a "basic" education ; the former,
a frivolous one.”

Neil Postman
