    Thumbs up Here are some quotes on education

    Beware, you may not agree with all of them and some of them are kinda funny, but it an interesting read. I also find it quite interesting to read what others had to say in the 1700 to 1800's. Quite fascinating actually.

    One of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.
    Bertrand A. Russell (1872-1970) English philosopher, mathematician, and writer.

    Man's going forward from cocksure ignorance to thoughtful uncertainty.
    Kenneth G. Johnson

    I like those two! They are sort of opposite in a way. The first is what happens when we get proud of our education and think we know it all, or we have it down pat.

    The second --that thoughtful uncertainty is much more what true education is about. Learning to listen, to ask, to think, to observe, not jumping to conclusions too fast.
