Mr. Gradgrind describes himself as an "eminently practical" man. He lives by the philosophy of rationalism, self-interest, and cold, hard fact. He forbids his children to develop imagination and emotions.
Students who will be the products of Mr.Grandgrind's educational system will most likely be a replica of his children; emotionally impaired, self-serving, hypocrite, and manipulative.
