In school books, the Dick and Jane syndrome reinforced our

read the nuances between the lines: Ann keeps her eye on the
oven; Dan sets his sights on the moon.
— Francine Klagsbrun, columnist, writer, editor

our children and our country ill service by not supporting

Education, in its largest sense, is a thing of great scope and extent. It
includes the whole process by which a human being is formed to be
what he is, in habits, principles, and cultivation of every kind...You
speak of beginning the education of our son. The moment he was
able to form an idea his education was already begun.
— Anna Letitia Barbauld, editor, poet, essayist

Computers can do all the left hemisphere processing better and
faster than the human brain. So what's left for the human brain is
global thinking, creative thinking, intuitive-problem solving, seeing
the whole picture. All of that can not be done by the computer.
And yet the school system goes on, churning out reading, writing,
and arithematic, spelling, grammar.
— Betty Edwards, author, researcher, artist

some of which is educational. Education happens
everywhere, and it happens from the moment a child is
born--and some people say before--until a person dies.
— Sara Lawrence Lightfoot, educator, author, sociologist, writer

the educated person and replace it with a
multiplicity of models designed to accommodate

Instead of focusing our attention on developing readiness for
academic achievement promulgating middle-class standards and

is lovable and that he can contribute something of value to others.
— Eda J. Le Shan, family counsellor, educator, writer

The most sure, but at the same time the most
difficult expedient to mend the morals of the

In the pursuit of an educational program to suit the bright
and the not-so-bright we have watered down a rigid
training for the elite until we now have an educational diet
in many of our public high schools that nourishes neither
the classes nor the masses.
— Agnes Meyer, translator, social worker, writer, journalist

Since a time has come, Mademoiselle, when the severe laws of men no longer prevent
women from applying themselves to the sciences and other disciplines, it seems to me
that those of us who can, should use this long-craved freedom to study and to let men
see how greatly they wronged us when depriving us of its honour and advantages. And
if any woman becomes so proficient as to be able to write down her thoughts, let her
do so and not despise the honour but rather flaunt it instead of fine clothes,
necklaces, and rings. For these may be considered ours only by use, whereas the
honor of being educated is ours entirely.
— Louise Labé, feminist, poet, linguist, soldier

14. gyan lab
...it has always seemed strange to me that in our endless
discussions about education so little stress is ever laid on the
pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous
interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up in the
world of thought--that is to be educated.
— Edith Hamilton, translator, classical scholar, writer
