Below are some quotations on education. Select three of these (must be a combination from both modern and postmodern quotations) and explain each one in your own words.
Modern Quotations on Education:
1. “You go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits; for the habit of attention, for the art of expression, for the art of assuming at a moment’s notice a new intellectual position, for the art of entering quickly into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure and refutation, for the art of indicating assent or dissent in graduated terms.” (Quoted in Michael Oakeshott, Rationalism in Politics)
2. “Do we want to use our colleges to produce hundreds of busy little conceptualizers, explainers and verifiers, talkers and analysis-makers at a time when the conceptualizing and analytic mind has been running wild through the world, having detached itself from the simple human virtues of love, compassion, tenderness, and empathy which it is the task of any education in sensibility to foster?” (Harold Taylor, Students without Teachers. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1969, p. 156)
3. “Education is not about self-esteem. Education is demeaning. It should be about teaching you what you don’t know, what you yet need to know, how much there is yet to do. Part of the process of education is teaching you that you are related to people who are not you, not your parents—that you are related to black runaway slaves and that you are related to suffragettes in the 19th century and that you are related to Puritans. That you are related to some continuous flow of ideas, some linkage, of which you are the beneficiary, the most recent link. The argument for bilingual education, or for teaching black children their own lingo, assumes that education is about self-esteem. My argument is that education is about teaching children to use the language of other people.” (From “The New, New World,” an interview with author Richard Rodriguez, Reason, August/ September 1994)
Postmodern Quotations on Education:
1. Michel Foucault: “It is meaningless to speak in the name of—or against—Reason, Truth, or Knowledge”
2. Andrea Dworkin: “Women have been chattels to men as wives, as prostitutes, as sexual and reproductive servants. Being owned and being fucked are or have been virtually synonymous experiences in the lives of women. He owns you; he fucks you. The fucking conveys the quality of ownership: he owns you inside out.” (Intercourse)
3. Michel Foucault: “Prison is the only place where power is manifested in its naked state, in its most excessive form, and where it is justified as moral force. … What is fascinating about prisons is that, for once, power doesn’t hide or mask itself; it reveals itself as tyranny pursued into the tiniest details; it is cynical and at the same time pure and entirely ‘justified,’ because its practice can be totally formulated within the framework of morality.” (Language, Counter-Memory, Practice)
1. Ano ang pagsulat at bakit ito mahalaga?
2. Iugnay ang pagsulat sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa.
3. Makipanayam sa sino man sa mga sumusunod. Alamin ang kanyang talambuhay. Isulat ito at basahin sa klase.
a. tanyag na manunulat
b. taong may mataas na katungkulan sa pamahalaan
c. taong tanyag sa media
d. gurong may maraming ‘’achievements’’
e. taong tanyag sa kanyang propesyon
An Important Announcement from Your Instructor (for Creative Writing and Campus Journalism students)
Please read this announcement regarding this group project in Creative Writing and Campus Journalism.
February 4, 2012 Saturday
Dear Iconians,
Greetings of peace and prosperity!
It is with great joy seeing you build this website of your own. As you know, you are required to submit a portfolio as your requirements for the Pre-final Period and an online version of your works for the Final Period which are equivalent to 60% of your grade. Please be reminded that no written examinations will be conducted in this class except for the Midterm Examination as reflected in our Course Syllabus. It is, therefore, important that you will give your utmost effort in this endeavor as this will greatly affect your grades. This is a group project so I expect all members of the group to actively participate in any of the exercises or activities you will do for the rest of the semester.
There are several things I want to remind you for this work.
1. First, the website must have six (6) standard links for the following: Autobiographies, Essays, News, Poems, Short Stories, and Other Writings. You may want to add more categories if you wish, like Gallery, Blogs, etc.
2. Second, each link must have information on it. For example, when I click 'Autobiographies' I should be able to view and read the contents of your autobiographies. Under no circumstance that a certain link is empty or is not working. This will lead to deduction of points.
3. Third, your group has six (6) members, therefore, it is imperative that readers around the world should be able to read six autobiographies, six essays, six news stories, six poems, six short stories, and six other forms of writings. Of course, if you want to add more write-ups, you can do that but that is not a requirement.
4. Fourth, your website will be judged by a panel of college professors from the Department of Education (DOE) and the Department of Computer Studies (DCS) after you present it with them through a PowerPoint Presentation preferably at the Audio-Visual Room on March 9, 2012 (Friday).
5. Fifth, you can choose any topic (Environment, Religion, Politics, Education, Sexuality, Family, Love and Relationships, etc) for your write-ups.
6. Lastly, DO NOT DELETE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT FROM YOUR WEBSITE.
It may be quite hard for some of you to experiment on new things like this but all of us, including me, must do extraordinary things if we want to improve ourselves. Take this as a challenge. I do not want you to leave the four corners of The Fisher Valley College one year from now without taking any challenges as students. I graduated valedictorian in my high school years but I never had the chance to learn computer and the internet. I am not ashamed to admit that I was a computer illiterate then. When I entered the University of the Philippines, I was so confused, shocked, and in other times, depressed, with all those voluminous readings and requirements that demanded computer skills and internet knowledge in addition to printed materials. I say this to encourage you to give your best shot in everything that you do.
Let these gentle reminders serve as your guide as you work as a team on your website in our Creative Writing and Campus Journalism course. Please do not hesitate to discuss with me any issues you have as this will greatly help towards the attainment of our goals.
Will you then prove to the world that you are indeed 'The Iconians' by showing your readers that you are icons of goodwill through sharing your ideas on the web? Let's see!
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Marlon B. Raquel
