Επαναλαμβάνω την απάντηση που έδωσε ένας εκπαιδευτικός:
"The purpose of education is to create unpleasant experiences in us. ... The Latin meaning of education* is 'to go out.' Education is not about making us feel warm and fuzzy inside." Wineburg questioned the idea that the New York City Department of Education would want to "shield kids from these types of encounters." He said the goal of education is to "prepare them," adding "this is how we dumb down public schools."
educate
mid-15c., "bring up (children), train," from L. educatus, pp. of educare "bring up, rear, educate," which is related to educere "bring out, lead forth," from ex- "out" (see ex-) + ducere "to lead" (see duke). Meaning "provide schooling" is first attested 1580s.
