What makes a quality education?
“The single biggest problem in education is that no one agrees on why we educate. Faced with this lack of consensus, policymakers define good education as higher test scores.”
~ Diane Ravitch

Our answer defines what we give time to and what becomes priority in the day-to-day life of the classroom. How we answer the question shapes our aspirations as parents, educators and society at large.

consider the responses of others?

How do we get there?

How are our schools doing in producing the vision of students as
thinkers?

Children grow into the intellectual life of those around them?
What kind of intellectual life are we surrounding our children with at home, in school and in the classroom?
