Re: We stand on shoulders of giants
Ken,
The term you are looking for is "life long learner". After 31 years of teaching I am no longer sure that education and learning are the same thing. Education has become the establishment. Education has become a mandate, a right of passage, a place to spend time with your friends. Learning is what takes place in the classroom. It causes the eyes to sparkle, the face to grin, the ears to tingle. Education takes place in offices. Learning takes place where you are. This is what makes FIRST so outstanding. Learning happens in a shop, a lab, a classroom, at a regional, in backyards, at restaurants, and on airplanes and buses. FIRST has expanded the classroom to meet the world. After 8 years with FIRSt, I no longer worry about the future. We do indeed stand on the shoulders of giants.
Ken
