Purpose of Education

1.	Foundation Bricks (Raw Potential) → “Students arrive like unshaped clay, ready to be stacked.”

2.	Mortar of Metrics (Numbers Obfuscate) → “GPAs, tests, and analytics glue the chaos into neat towers.”

3.	Scaffold & Formwork (Guided Pathways) → “Elevators of rules and procedures keep the structure upright and predictable.”

4.	Load-Bearing Columns (Global Principles) → “Big ideas hold up the skyline; each curriculum brick supports the next.”

5.	Finishing Facade (Student as Output) → “Graduates emerge polished, quantifiable, and aligned with the grid—beautiful, unbendable, Manhattan-ready.”

Somewhere inside, the human spirit is like a hidden room behind reinforced concrete—mostly inaccessible, but definitely still there.
