I'm no politician. I'm an historian who has learned through a lifetime of studying that nothing in the world beats universal education.
Strange as it may seem no amount of learning can cure stupidity and formal education positively fortifies it.
And I also thought that Richard Nixon was the greatest political education we have ever had but it looks like we need to relearn them again.
I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms.
There is not to be found in all history any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men of such unquestioned good sense education and learning as to secure us against all delusion in themselves.
My father is a real idealist and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning my father would spare no expense.
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows how much he has still to learn.
Life must be a constant education one must learn everything from speaking to dying.
