Additional Information: This quote by educator Shimon Schocken means that personal exploration and self-efficacy are the goals of a quality education. That is, education should not simply teach you facts; it should teach you how to continue learning on your own. The quote is from Schocken's 2012 TED Talk about a course he developed to teach students how to build a computer. Watch the full TED Talk here: Shimon Schocken - The Self-Organizing Computer Course
