David Perkins' thoughts about what an educated person is
06/13/02

"An educated person

Respects the miracle of life

Is empowered in the use of language

Responds to the aesthetic

Understands and respects the conditions and history of place and time

Cherishes their membership of groups and institutions

Has reverence for the natural world and sustainability of the planet

Affirms the dignity of work

Is guided by values, beliefs and a larger sense of purpose beyond themselves."
