Editorial: Painting involves a sequential application of layers, each of which adheres satisfactorily only if the underlying layer has been properly applied. █████████ ███ ██ ████ ████████ ████ ███ █████ ██ █████████ █████ ███ ████ █████████ █████ ██ ████████ ███ ███████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ██ ███████ ███ ███████████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ ██ █████ █████ ██ ███████ ████ ████████
Painting involves the application of layers. Subsequent layers of paint adhere only when the underlying layer has been properly applied. The most important steps in painting are preparing the surface to be painted and applying the primer coat. Education, in this respect, is similar to painting.
It makes sense to suppose that the success of a student’s education requires a satisfactory preliminary steps.
