“Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.”

I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
Prior to being allowed to enter the profession, prospective teachers should be asked to talk with a group of friendly students for at least half an hour and be able to engage them in an interesting conversation about any subject the prospective teacher wants to talk about.
To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.
