Ah, here we come to the great stumbling block of the matter. I seem to remember Steve and I had an interesting short discussion about this very thing:- Is the aim of education to engender a love of learning, or is it to produce young people who are literate, fit for work, and can perform a useful role in society? I think I actually supported the latter, and to some extent I think I was right.

It's wonderful, of course, to stimulate students to enjoy and pursue their own studies; to inspire and empower them with the tools to investigate for themselves, and even think for themselves. But there are exams to pass and qualifications to obtain. The world of work in the main consists of being responsible. punctual, dependable, reliable and patient. There are few jobs which require the employee to investigate or innovate. (Maybe Design, or Police work...)
There are two different types of Education - the luxury of pursuing one's own ideas at one's own pace and the enjoyment of forming one's own impressions through examination of all the evidence etc.
And the sheer hard toil of absorbing facts for regurgitation in an exam, and to train one for the daily grind of the workplace.
They don't seem compatible to me.
