“That’s not what it’s all about. In fact, it seems we tend to misun-
derstand the very meaning of the word education.
Education comes from the Latin word educare, which literally
means “led out,” in the sense of being drawn forth. I find that little
tidbit really interesting, because we don’t generally think of educa-
tion in that sense—of drawing forth something from the learner.
Instead, it’s far more common to see education treated as some-
thing that’s done to the learner—as something that’s poured in,
not drawn out. This model is especially popular in corporate train-
ing, with a technique that’s known as sheep dip training.”
