Clarifying phrase: "how to use things"

edit

In the section of "Weather Underground (organization" devoted to "Practice," you write:

It is in schools that the youth of the nation become alienated from the real process of learning about the world or how to use things

Perhaps you might clarify what the phrase "how to use things" means in this context?Historytrain (talk) 15:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
