Education Quote

John Holt

I have used the words "home schooling" to describe the process by which children grow and learn in the world without going, or going very much, to schools, because those words are familiar and quickly understood. But in one very important sense they are misleading. What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth in the word is not that it is a better school than the schools but that it isn't a school at all.

Education Quote

Confucious

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

Education Quote

Pablo Picasso

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Education Quote

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

“Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”

Education Quote

James Baldwin

It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

Education Quote

Charlotte Mason

The question is not,—how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education—but how much does he care?"

Education Quote - His Holiness Pope John Paul II

I assure you of my own personal appreciation of Scouting as a magnificent experience and form of social and religious commitment.


By the way, if you have a scout troop, you may wish to create a free scouting website. It's easy - with blogs, galleries, forums, calendars, password protection, etc.

Education Quote - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

A child's education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born.

I definitely agree with this. One thing that I find very disturbing is that most children in the United States never study our contract with our government. Learn the Constitution.

Education Quote - Sandra Day O'Conner

It is difficult to discern a serious threat to religious liberty from a room of silent, thoughtful schoolchildren.

Education Quote - Mark Twain

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Education Quote - Albert Einstein

Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.

Education quote - Nelson Mandela

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

I must say, I love this quote.

Education Quote - John Taylor Gatto

Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.

It is all too common to find an unhappy state of affairs in families, with constant friction between parents and children.
It is not a natural state of affairs. In fact, it can be avoided entirely. L. Ron Hubbard developed many methods to bring out the best in a child—and its parents. In this booklet, you will read about some of these methods and discover how to raise a child without breaking his spirit, how to have a child who is willing to contribute to the family, and how to help a child quickly get over the daily upsets and tribulations of life.
