Business/Education Summit IV
In March 2010, the Chamber’s Partners in Education Council continued its work to better prepare our youth for post-high school realities. Guest speaker Charles Murray, author and scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, shared new ideas and stirred discussion & debate about redefining the goal of education:
The goal of education is to bring children into adulthood having discovered things they enjoy doing and doing them at the outermost limits of their potential. The goal applies equally to every child, across the entire range of every ability. There are no first-class and second-class ways to enjoy the exercise of our realized capacities. It is a quintessentially human satisfaction, and its universality can connect us all. Opening the door to that satisfaction is what real education does.”
