Teacher Tim Walker talks to the BBC's Lucy Hockings about what makes Finland's education the best in the world.

The word education comes from a Latin word that means to lead forth.
Forth is a value-laden term.
It raises a question, which way is forth? How do you know you’re going in the right direction?
The easy answer in our time is, “It just depends on which way you want to go.”
Young people almost always say that today. They’ve been taught to say that. But, that’s the wrong answer.
At Hillsdale College, we understand education to be the pursuit of the highest answer to that question.
Discovering the right way by reading the greatest books by the greatest minds in history.
Coming to see the meaning of three ultimate and related things, the good, the true, and the beautiful.
This is the way forth.
This is education.

(No violence or foul language appears in this video) So I previously stopped by one of Houstons water plants to see if they had any damage following the Hurricane Harvey flooding-Security threw a fit,of course. That was in Galena Park (video will post next week). I knew the City of Houston Water Works had an Educational Center on the north side of town so I figured a stop there might prove enlightening. This video depicts what I found on that visit and how awful I was treated by Contract Employees and City Employees on my visit. Public Servants hate accountability.

Dr. Patricia Thomas is passionate about preparing the next generation of neonatal nurse practitioners to care for the most fragile infants. She brings more than 15 years of experience as a neonatal nurse practitioner (NNP) to her role as clinical assistant professor in the College of Nursing at UTA. As a member of the university's professional learning community on e-learning, Patricia believes that technology can improve student engagement and learning which can ultimately improve patient outcomes. In addition to learning about physiology and pathophysiology, nurses need opportunities to develop critical thinking and technical skills through clinical practice. Physical simulation has become integral to nurse practitioner education but students have limited access to mannequins and faculty who can facilitate simulations. Case scenarios in virtual environments allow anytime anywhere opportunities for student learning. Patricia was integral in the development of the virtual world of NNP education, nursingap.com. She is currently working on an interprofessional education project for graduate nursing and social work students in Second Life. When not immersed in virtual worlds, Patricia competes in dog agility with her Belgian Tervuren.

David Hansen's Weinberg lecture poses the question whether education is possible today. He addresses three prevalent responses to the question: (1) that it is obviously possible since we can see all around us teachers and students working in classrooms, (2) that it is obviously not possible because the educational system has been subverted to serve the ends of a global economic order, and (3) that education remains possible because of the inextinguishable human quest for meaning even in the face of unjust societal conditions. Hansen also argues that while there is evidence to support the three responses, they all in eff ect dismiss the question of education's possibility and thus undermine its authentic enactment. Hansen suggests that the question of education is the one question we need to keep open in order to ensure the continuation of education itself. David Hansen was recently named the John L. and Sue Ann Weinberg Professor in the Historical and Philosophical Foundations of Education at Teachers College. His books include the widely cited The Call to Teach (1995), Exploring the Moral Heart of Teaching (2001), Ethical Visions of Education (2007), and most recently The Teacher and the World (2011).

David Hansen is a Past-President of the John Dewey Society and of the Philosophy of Education Society, and is a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. He is currently leading a funded three-year-long inquiry, alongside sixteen teachers from New York City schools, that is entitled "What does it mean to be a person in the world today?"

Shelley Moore, of The University of British Columbia, is one of the Top 25 finalists in SSHRC's 2016 Storytellers challenge.
