Education is a pyramid

Education is like building a pyramid. The most important part of a pyramid is the foundation. Without a foundation there is nothing for the pyramid to build up on. With education it is important that while students are young and new into school to be educated with a solid foundation. Creativity, social skills, basic reading, writing and arithimatic skills. These are the skills that give us as students and as educators the base to build up on. Students cannot be taught learning the upper parts of the pyramid they must first learn the basics which would be the bottom of the pyramid then as more knowledge is gained more can be added to the top of the pyramid. Learning is a step by step process just like building a pyramid, you start at the bottom and work your way to the top. At the end of the process you have a glorious pyramid but the end of the education process you would form a knowledgable and indepent student.
