Moderated by Leo Cabell. Amy Edmondson argues that the hatred of learning is a learned process, claiming it is human nature to want to learn. David Finkle discusses the duality of the meaning of the phrase ‘hatred of learning’, and explores how some people hate both learning and those who have learning. He ponders why there are some who resist learning, and questions the historical background of learning. Molly Ivins argues there are three sources of the hatred of learning: sense of failure, the perception that people use knowledge as an oppressive weapon, and the idea that learning results in abandonment of former identity. Michael Stoff claims learning is an ongoing process and concurs with Edmondson’s belief that it is human nature to learn. He explores American society’s treatment of teachers and the possible reasons for failing teachers.
