Education and Schooling


 The post I read on Steve Wheeler’s blog this week was on the difference between education and schooling. It began to make me realize that there really is a huge difference between the two of them. Schooling is a very structured thing. Lectures, uniformity, rules: these are all words that describe schooling. Education is much more than that. This is all about learning. Learning can happen anywhere you go, it doesn’t have to be in a school setting. It makes you realize that not every classroom is actually a place where you learn. It is sometimes better to go out and experience things before you read the book or look at the PowerPoint.
