Great quotes! Thanks!
You are welcome!
Good quotes.
The one thing that gets missed out in praising education is that education in itself doesnt always lead anywhere. People can pass a test, or get a degree, but that doesnt always prove they have learnt anything, just that they are proficient at tests within a narrow range of subjects.
I feel education should be far more expansive and more emphasis on putting it into practice.
I agree, as do an enormous number of educators. Learning should be exciting and the proof of learning can come without tests. Teachers are in your corner!

I’m guessing you have, but have you heard of Ken Robinson? I love his perspective on education, great speaker too.
Yes!
Education is important but don’t confuse schooling for education.
