Day Ten: Thoughts on Education:
*sigh* Oh dear. This could be a hard subject to go into.
Education is more than just doing school work and grades. It a life's learning! Doing school is only the foundation of education, you have the rest of you life to learn more after high school!
Because everyone says "Go to school to get your education." People always just have a mind set the an education is do book schooling, Math, English/Grammar, Science, etc. But Education is even more than knowing how to spell and do Math. Education is the tools you'll need to go through life, this includes learning, self control, how to serve others, how to be able to care and provide for a family, how to act, how to have healthy habits, how to be able to do research on your own so you can continue learning,...
Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary defines Education as this: The bring up, as a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a education in manners, arts, and science, is impotent; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and is immense responsibility rests on the parents and guardians who neglect these duties.
