On the Educational Task

The educational task consists in conveying ideas and knowledge and, at the same time, generating living habits. In short, we could say: sowing the truth and destroying error, generating virtues and eliminating vices. The educators’ mission consists in shaping people with integrity that are capable of self-determination and creating solid ties with the others. In a word, educating is humanizing.
Jorge Casaretto, quote taken from Mas que buenas escuelas, published on February, 19th, 2008, in La Nacion daily, Argentina.

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.”
Mahatma Gandhi 1869-1948

On Responding to Evil with Justice

“Respond to kindness with kindness, and respond to evil with justice.”
Confucius
