Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I confess myself utterly at a loss in suggesting particular reforms in our ways of teaching. No discretion that can be lodged with a school-committee, with the overseers or visitors of an academy, of a college, can at all avail to reach these difficulties and perplexities, but they solve themselves when we leave institutions and address individuals.
Summary
In this quote, the author acknowledges their inability to provide specific solutions to improve the current education system. They believe that no amount of authority or decision-making power given to committees or overseers can effectively address the complexities and challenges faced in education. Instead, the author suggests that these issues can be resolved when educators focus on individualized approaches to teaching and learning, bypassing the limitations imposed by institutional structures and systems.
