Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

Dear Sadia,

Does empty mind exist? Human mind is full of so many things. There is many debates on this issue. For example, we see that John Locke supported this view but Richard Rorty opposed that. Human mind is full of desires and  experiences. Modern educators also view mind not as a blank one.

Aha! Now we can have a debate over this quote. And I guess Shampa already started it by pointing out the absence of 'an empty mind'. :)
