“The Lost Tools of Learning” by Dorothy Sayers has made me think about my educational upbringing. There is something missing in our society in which we live in. What is true education if not to feed the soul, body, and mind? How can one feed the mind but not the soul? Socrates makes it clear in the Republic that the aim of education is to “turn the soul around by changing its desires.” (518b-519b)The work is upon us to bring to our students the food they need for their soul, mind, and body. As a teacher, I am re-learning and growing in figuring out the true meaning of education. What I missed as a child and how to bring the everlasting fruit to myself and students. “The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." -C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man“People are inundated, blinded, deafened, and mentally paralysed by a flood of vulgar and tasteless externals, leaving them no time for leisure of thought, or creation from within themselves.” -G.K. Chesterton
