right to actively question feu curriculum or his individual teachers although i believe that to some extent iwmost ceruln- jy has whit i want to discuss is the genero question qf where student should fit into the irysteikln genera as opposedto wtyre he is fitted in now student is fully awarir that lnnckrof hu role in the seconcf- ary ducatiohsl system is the passive raleof receptor how- trver if he has not already sqc- ctimocd lo the idea that the teacher is handing down the one and onlytriie word he also realizes that it is his duty to question every single idea- that is transmitted to him by his teachers he is to be a critical receptor who must actively question what he has been told it is at this point that he is li able to find himself in trouble an objective analysis would re peal that it is most difficult to i question each minor point as ty comes clone when you do dot have a grasp of the whole picture consequently many tea chers when confronted witji nu merous queries are apt to con- aidrr it far more relevant to imply brush them off in favour of finishing an assigned course justifying this action by saying that if the student just waits he will find out later as to wheth er his question was even nec essary this leads many students to give up questioning altogetb- where they have what is nearly their only chance to ask quejy- tions and express opinions but also in their minds this refusal on the part of many students to not only ex- prtu opinions- but to jutttfrrmj them in toe first place la per haps understandable but it is nevertheless ft direct denial of what a student must do to get the most out of what he is being taught a student must be ready ahdwtllinc to form opinions on anything he has been told where opinions can be formed i dont suggest that students should go around arguing that one and one maea something other than two but be should certainly be free to question attitudes and ideas that his various tea chers may transmit on subject ive questions on tht order of present society is good because or the american civil war was caused by both teachers and studepts should recognize that there nothing wrong in the idea of- forming an opinion with what ever information is available as long as a person isfre to chan ge that opinion as soon as la ter information shows that it is not as correct as it could be for if a person has not
