Socrates said that "education is not indoctrination, but lighting a flame". What does this mean?
Socrates thinks that education is very important for a person's growth. In his view, no matter whether talented people are smart or dull, if they are determined to achieve commendable achievements, they must study hard and practice hard. He advocated that we should first cultivate people's virtue, teach people to learn how to be a man and become a virtuous person. Secondly, we should teach people to learn extensive and practical knowledge. Ignite the flame, that is, ignite the interest in learning, and guide the students' existing knowledge into their practical knowledge and skills.
