TRUE WISDOM

There is so much talk about wisdom and yet the way that we educate our children is the very antithesis of what it is all about. One of my own favourite Einstein quotes is 'We can't solve the problems of the world using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them'. In Ian Gilbert's new book 'Why do I need a teacher when I've got Google?' he explores the issue of a rapidly changing world where we all have information at our fingertips and how more and more…
