These processes are all around us and we witness them every day, it is just necessary to have the eyes to see

Are you trying to imply that the education system is not intentionally designed by intelligent beings? What do all those creatures in departments of education all over the world do, then? You are trying to prove that evolution is not a designed process by showing how it is like a designed process. Hmmm. Interesting.

Or perhaps are you suggesting that learning itself is not a process that requires intelligence?

Do you honestly believe that the process of education was not the product of centuries of design through thoughtful consideration and research about child development, curriculum development, age appropriate content, metacognition, assessment and instructional methods?

So evolution is dialectical like the process of education, but it is not designed. Which point were you trying to prove?

Even if you are merely referring to the learning cycles of each individual student, I fail to see your point because there is a dynamic between the intelligently planned pedagogy and the child's own intelligence that results in learning taking place. So intelligence is not a byproduct it is an essential feature of your example. Or are you really claiming that education is a mindless activity?

You are correct thar we need eyes to see when and where intelligence is active in a process. Since you missed its presence in the process of education perhaps you likewise cannot see it in active in the process of evolution.
