With violence on the uptick, especially in our schools throughout the nation, it is time we re-evaluate our curriculum and begin to integrate value based options to help children understand and overcome passive-violent tendencies.
As Arun Gandhi explains –
“Instead of teaching people the importance of respect and compassion we teach them that success means material gains and that everyone must aspire to make a lot of money. We teach our children to be motivated and be successful in life. In insidious ways we teach them to be selfish and greedy. This means they do not learn how to love, respect, understand or be compassionate towards those who are less fortunate.
In short, education is not only what one learns in school but what kind of foundation they get at home and whether the young people realize that education is a lifelong experience. We must have an open, absorbing mind that will learn from every experience and every encounter they have through their lives. Most of the time young people are given the impression that once they get their certificate their education stops.”
