Fraud in the Shadows of Our Society: What Is Unknown about Educating Is Hurting Us All

By Robert L. Arnold

According to psychiatrist Lawrence S. Kubie MD., "...education will continue to perpetuate a fraud on culture until it accepts the full implications of the fact that the free creative velocity of our thinking apparatus is continually being braked and driven off course by the play of unconscious forces." He says, "...we do not need to be taught to think; indeed, that is something that cannot be taught." While Kubie's model deals with adult levels of activity, Jean Piaget has written about the role of genetic epistemology that demonstrates what can be known at each level of development leading to adulthood. His work receives special attention along with the work of others, including Viktor Lowenfeld, Lev Vygotsky, Lawrence Kohlberg, Robert Gagne, and Benjamin Bloom. These contributions point to what is missing in the conventional school system's attitudes, beliefs, values and personal orientations that underlay an increasingly anti-social behavior. They also clarify what is required to meet and solve the crisis that is expressed by many with limited hope for the future.
