Mashburn #2 Josh Stodghill

Topic: Panel discussion response paper.
Dr. Kingsford focuses primarily on what the K-12 education system is for and what the college years are meant for. He pointed out that for us we have been focusing primarily on facts that are intellectual, political, ect.; where as, now college will still teach this, but it will also cause us to learn to think on our own. He stressed the fact that college is just the next step in the life long learning process.
Dr. Dunning made the point that if a class is easy for us then we should dig deeper on our own. I love this point, and believe that students should do this in order to accomplish the knowledge they will need later as well as developing skills that will carry on for the rest of their life.
Dr. Roberts made my favorite point when he used 1 Corinthians 10:31 which says, "therefore whether you eat or you drink or what ever you do, do it all to the glory of God". He made the point that in our education process we are to learn as much as we can and to accomplish as much as we can so that what we do will be to the glory of God. So many times people will do there classes for the grade or for their parents, and miss the point that they are to do their best for the Lord.
