“Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not preparation for life but is life itself.”
“Education is the preparation of a child intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for life and for eternity.”
“...rather than assuming that education is primarily about preparing for jobs and careers, what would it mean to think of education as a process of guiding kids' participation in public life more generally, a public life that includes social, recreational, and civic engagement.”
“The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. ”
“To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated.”
