What Should Education Teach?
ONE PAGE IF CAN
W.E.B. Du Bois was the first African American to earn a
doctorate from Harvard. He fought for African American rights
and cofounded the NAACP. Du Bois sought social, economic
and political reforms to expand equality and access for
minorities (Pullman & Van Patten).
Watch the
short biography of W.E.B. Du Bois
on Bio.com. Then reflect on the following quote:
“
Education and work are levers to uplift a people. Work alone
will not do it unless inspired by the right ideals and guided by
intelligence. Education must not simply teach work—it must
teach life.” - W. E. B. DuBois,
The Negro Problem
, 1903
Although this quote is more than 100 years old, the words still
ring true for our society today. Please explain what you think
“Education must not simply teach work—it must teach life”
meant then and what it means now.
