If education is not being able to make you better, you are illiterate.
- Hassnain Malik
Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
Meritocracy - the idea of making people jump through hoops to gain approval, instead of merely doing it by mob rule. While this is a good start, any institution will inevitably be corrupted and shift the goal posts to reward those who are rote memorization fans or otherwise obedient and successful within a narrow scope (“useful idiots”), but not necessarily effective at life.
- Brett Stevens

NOT YET RATED ▼
If we think only the thoughts that are customary to us, and listen only to the words of those who are "of our mind," we are little likely to find refreshment and renewal in our minds, and thus all too likely to suppose that we have come to the end of all deliberations that we have to make.

The California State Department of Education has issued guidelines called “Standards for Evaluation of Instructional Materials with Respect to Social Content.” According to Education Code section 60040(a) and 60044(a), “Whenever an instructional material presents developments in history or current events, or achievements in art, science, or any other field, the contributions of women and men should be represented in approximately equal number.“ In effect, this law demands that the historian be more attentive to the demands of “equal representation” than to the historical facts. Needless to say, histories and social studies presented in this “fair” but factually skewed manner constitute an unworthy and dishonest approach to learning.

THE BEST RESULT OF EDUCATION IS YET TO BE INVENTED
- J. Ruby
Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
The first and most obvious understanding of education comes from the fact that anyone who can not tell Reason from rubbish is not yet in a condition to know that he can not tell Reason from rubbish, a disability, which, you would suppose, can hardly be one of those put forth as education. But it is.

NOT YET RATED ▼
And it does occur to me that, as I sit here in no pain at all, some not inconsiderable number of my contemporaries are suffering every bit as much pain as any cave painter suffered, and asking themselves exactly what principle it is by which a long life is thought better than a short life.

Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
In retrospect, I see that *this* was my education, the one that would matter: the hours I spent sitting at a borrowed desk, struggling to parse narrow strands of Mormon doctrine in mimicry of a brother who'd deserted me. The skill I was learning was a crucial one, the patience to read things I could not yet understand.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.
Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.
- Sir Thomas More
Utopia
Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
We spend the first year of a child's life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down. There's something wrong there.
Topic: Education

If a man is to shed the light of the sun upon other men, he must first of all have it within himself.

All I have learned, I learned from books.
Topic: Education
NOT YET RATED ▼
Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.

nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose
