A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Education must shift from instruction, from imposing of stencils, to discovery – to probing and exploration and to the recognition of the language of forms… The teach-in represents an attempt to shift education from instruction to discovery, from brainwashing students to brainwashing instructors. It is a big, dramatic reversal.
