Today's word is "inculcate" ... in-KUHL-keyt ... to implant by repeated statement or admonition; teach persistently and earnestly(usually followed by upon or in). (Dictionary.com)
Eureka!
Is the goal of teaching,
To inculcate an ideal,
To press into tiny heads of mush,
Exactly how to feel?
Or maybe we could create,
An atmosphere so bold,
That each child would form alone,
A vision to behold?
Each mind then could take the facts,
Compare them to the rest,
Turn them 'round and sound them out,
And decide which one was best.
