My favourite quote about education

George R. Knight, PhD wrote Philosophy and Education believing it will be a helpful guide for analyzing education purposes and practices. Overall, Knight hopes to assist the reader in developing a positive educational philosophy built upon a distinctly Christian worldview.

My favourite quote from this book captures my love for a career in education: “Since the function of Christian education is one of reconciliation and restoring the balanced image of God in students, education must be seen primarily as a redemptive act. And if education is viewed in that manner, then the role of the teacher is ministerial and pastoral in the sense that the teacher is an agent of reconciliation.” (Philosophy and Education: An Introduction in Christian Perspective, 2006, pp. 210-211)
