Education Quote
Aristotle
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Homeschooling Education
Here is a great book for kids who know how to read, and now need to learn how to read in order to LEARN.
The pictures are fun, and the concepts are clearly expressed.
I use this book with my own children once they are reading on their own. This solves typical study problems, such as retaining the information, knowing how to USE the information once studied (application), comprehending what is read.
This is actually a brilliant technology - easy to learn, easy to apply, with excellent results.

Education Quote - Barrell
The "Hidden Curriculum" Barrell (1991)
•The teacher "teaches" and the students "sit and listen" or learn passively.
•There is one "right answer" to any question, and it is in the book to be read.
•The answer to most questions can be given in one or two words, and no one will challenge you to go deeper.
•Books and teachers are always "right", and we learn only from them, not from any other resource in the room, such as our friends.
•If we wait long enough, a teacher will answer her own question, so we won't have to do much work. The teacher is the only one worth listening to.
•If we ask enough questions about a difficult assignment, we can get the teacher to make it easier and less demanding.
•"Thinking" is not something we talk about.
•If I memorize enough stuff, I can get a good grade.
•Most tasks and tests will demand recall of isolated pieces of information, and I will not have to show how concepts and ideas are related or how facts illustrate underlying principles.

Educational Quote
Ivan Illich
...we have come to realise that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school
Schools are designed on the assumption that there is a secret to everything in life; that the quality of life depends upon knowing that secret; that secrets can only be known in orderly successions; and that only teachers can properly reveal these secrets. An individual with a schooled mind concieves of the world as a pyramid of classified packages accessable only to those who carry the proper tags.

I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays, and have things arranged for them, that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas.

Here's a great site about glossaries and dictionaries. Basic Glossaries
We always try to keep a good selection of dictionaries and glossaries within easy access, wherever the kids not only study, but READ. Because knowing the meanings of words is essential!
I love to read Education Quotes by folks like Count Leo Tolstoy, Einstein, Mark Twain, and others I admire.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." - T.S. White

"If you're looking at test scores on standardized tests, the higher the test score, the worse the teaching because it means that they have narrowed their focus." -- Janice Auld, president of the North Sacramento Education Association, in the June 13 issue of the Sacramento News & Review.

"I've read the Constitution many times. No matter how I read it-forward, backward, upside down or with my Captain Liberty Secret Decoder Ring-I can't find anything in it that empowers the federal government to be involved in education. And since the federal government got involved in education, our children have slipped from first to 29th place in terms of literacy, numeracy and other measurements of educational excellence. The No Child Left Behind Act is just another extension of the policies that have destroyed American education. As president, I propose to get the federal government out of education, and I hope that the states will substantially privatize it as well. That's the only way to get back to our position of preeminence in learning." -Michael Badnarik

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.
