Abstract

"What are we supposed to learn," Harry asks in Harry 5. A moment later he answers his own question; "We should be learning how to think." "We do learn how to think," was Mark's response, "but we never learn to think for ourselves... They're always trying to fill my mind full of all sorts of junk." This exchange comes as part of a discussion between Harry, Mark, and Maria concerning the purposes of education. Some of the other suggestions made are learning how to solve problems and learning how to ask questions.
