THOUGHTS ON EDUCATION

• It sometimes seems as though we were trying to combine the idea of no schools at all with the democratic ideal of schools for everybody by having schools without education.
  _____________Robert Maynard Hutchins



• The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than to fill it with the accumulation of others.
  _____________Tryon Edwards



• The ability to think straight, some knowledge of the past, some vision of the future, some urge to fit that service into the well-being of the community - these are the most vital things education must try to produce.
  _____________Virginia Gildersleeve



• Theories and goals of education don't matter a whit if you don't consider your students to be human beings.
  _____________Lou Ann Walker



• Education does not consist merely in adorning the memory and enlightening the understanding. Its main business should be to direct the will.
