Title quote by Will Durant.I was brought up to value education, and I'm so thankful. My mom is a teacher, but even before she went back to school to get her degree, she was constantly teaching us at home. One of the things I remember her saying so often was, "Look it up." And off I'd go to the World Book encyclopedias. (These days, I'm constantly going to Google to look something up, so clearly this lesson is one that has stayed with me!)
I was able to attend decent schools at little cost to myself. I was challenged and encouraged and taught. I could name many things I regret or resent about my education or lack thereof, but when I think of the opportunities I had compared to those so many others do not, all I can say it that I'm thankful for my education.
"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." ~ Anatole France
"I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." ~ Socrates
