I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it's what children bring into school with them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think education is one of the greatest tools for most kids not only to expand their book knowledge, but their ability to experience new things - I think it opens more doors than any other experience I can think of.
I come from a background that stresses education more than anything.
Education is paramount in light of so many things that are out there.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
In my family, education was something you endured. My parents weren't educated past high school, and the only book in our house was a 'Reader's Digest' condensed book. Can you imagine?
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
I obtained eight years of elementary education in a two-room school, where I encountered a stern but engaging teacher who awakened my intellect with instruction that would seem rigorous today in many colleges. History figured large in the curriculum, exciting for me what was to become an enduring interest.
Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.
I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.
I think that books are fundamentally educational.
