%PREREQUISITES TO EDUCATION 781015
Educators preconceptions regarding the nature of
students set the basic prerequisites to education. These
basis prerequisites are not articulated. They are so
taken for granted that it would seem foolish to educators
to state the assumptions---there is no need to state them.
That which is obvious does not need to be stated.
Educators take for granted that their students are to
be educated individually and certified individually.
People are fundamentally individuals, and only secondarily
are they members of any community. You do not educate a
community; you educate the individual members of a
community. Thus educational programs are designed to
affirm the preconception that people are essentially
individuals. Thus educational programs through their
operation tend to fragment communities by neglecting to
affirm communal bonds while affirming individualistic
preconceptions.
Once individualization is taken for granted within an
educational program---it is necessary to facilitate the
harmonious interaction of the separated individuals.
Friction between individuals must be reduced by
lubrication. Lubrication is the process of preventing
bonding between elements which pass each other.
Lubrication places blockages to communication between the
passing elements so that they will not bond, break, bond,
break, bond, break, etc. Lubrication prevents union of
adjacent elements and lets the elements slide past each
other without bonding and resisting separation.
Given individualization and lubrication it is
important to help students adjust to their fluid situation
in which there are no stable relationships between
individuals. Thus education often focuses upon learning
how to adjust to existing situation, how to get along.
Education will affirm traditions, conventions, conformity,
etc. to help individuals move smoothly through their lives
with a minimum of friction and with a minimum of
disturbance to the society through which they move.
Education serves the purpose of minimizing conflict,
tension, change, etc. It appears to facilitate change by
promoting frictionless motion of individuals past each
other without bonding. Students who do not accept the
prerequisites to such an education do not get educated,
and do not prosper.
