Cultural practices for Nietzsche have become to commonplace, leaving the majority stripped of their individuality and true value. He used the example of taming an animal an act portrayed as an improvement. However, to Nietzsche this is preposterous because a tamed animal has not improved, it has only been weakened and ruined. He uses this as an example of how the Christian faith has weakened and brought down man but this also correlates with why he believes German schooling to be so wrong. Nietzsche says that German system of education has lost what means the most: “the end as well as the means to the end?(508). By this, Nietzsche means that teachers are not equipped enough, and schools are not selective enough. The cultural practices are to rapidly move children through sch

ool, which Nietzsche believes blocks the slow process of maturation. This form of education is an express lane to a larger amount of workers who are taught to make money. They lack the means to think for themselves, or rather lack the time to think for themselves.

Nietzsche puts forth three requirements for all educators in order for the educational system to become noble. The first of his three tasks for which educators are required is that all educators must be able to see. By this, Nietzsche means that an educator must have patience, and the ability to postpone a stimulus. For one that cannot see would rather react to whatever comes their way and believe whatever is presented to them. Once one is able to see, they will “become altogether slow, mistrustful, recalcitrant?(512). By being able to hold back premature judgment one is able to escape falling into others beliefs and rather make final judgment on their own. An educator who cannot see would react swiftly to a question or dilemma without first analyzing the situation and making an honest decision on what to do about it. In life people too often take what they are told and react on it, whether it is given knowledge or a problem that needs a solution. Once able to see one will open up themselves to new things, while keeping impartial on making a decision before having time to consider it for oneself.

Once an educator is able to see, think, write, and speak, they will be able to pass along these important traits in life. Nietzsche’s necessity to see and think are linked to what he believes to be wrong with his culture as a whole, so these views on education are similarly linked to some of his other teachings.
