Private schools, pretentious educational and political institutions, with a lot of university teachers most commonly and pompously called professors are clearly more interested in making money than in spreading pedagogical matters, logic and common sense, also because before teaching you must first be able to learn.
Carl William Brown

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
Bruce Lee

A man profits more by the sight of an idiot than by the orations of the learned.
Arabian Proverb

To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid.
Anonymous

Never underestimate stupidity, in fact even the most ignorant person can always teach you something.
Carl William Brown

Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education.
Bertrand Russell

Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield

The wealth of knowledge acquired by an individual after studying particular subject matters or experiencing life lessons that provide an understanding of something. Education requires instruction of some sort from an individual or composed literature. The most common forms of education result from years of schooling that incorporates studies of a variety of subjects. “Jamie knew the importance of an education, so she chose to go to a four-year university after graduating from high school.”

The definition of education in common usage, that education is merely the delivery of knowledge, skills and information from teachers to students, is inadequate to capture what is really important about being and becoming educated. The proper definition of education is the process of becoming an educated person. Being an educated person means you have access to optimal states of mind regardless of the situation you are in. You are able to perceive accurately, think clearly and act effectively to achieve self-selected goals and aspirations.

What is education; knowledge in basic skills, academics, technical, discipline, citizenship or is it something else? Our formal education system says only academic basics are important and that is based on collecting knowledge without understanding its value. How about the processing of knowledge, using inspiration, visionary ambitions, creativity, risk, ability to bounce back from failure, motivation? Many education institutions don’t consider these skills. These skills are associated with understanding the value of knowledge. There is a huge disconnected gap and this is a problem for high school students in particular.
