Examples

“For though education, in the true sense of the word, is necessary to excellence, yet a question still lies open, What is education? Is it certain old rules of thinking which require to be forced on the individual by others, more particularly than those which, by the exercise of his own faculties, he perceives in nature and life within and around him, and seizes, concentrates, abstracts, and digests for himself? Some do this spontaneously with unaccountable facility, such as Shakespeare, Burns, and Ebenezer Elliot; while others never can be tutored into any method of it by old rules, and often, when even stuffed in "the schools" to repletion, feel only besotted from a mind full of old abstruse indigestibles.”
“One particularly damaging, but often ignored, effect of conflict on education is the proliferation of attacks on schools[…]as children, teachers or school buildings become the targets of attacks. Parents fear sending their children to school. Girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence.”
“Good education is essential for a well-run society.”
“Nuh-nuh-doin'-duh... Nuh-nuh-doin'-duh... We don't need no education... Yes, you do. You've just used a double negative.”
“It is time the international community faced the reality: we have an unmanageable, unfair, distortionary global tax regime. […] It is the starving of the public sector which has been pivotal in America no longer being the land of opportunity – with a child's life prospects more dependent on the income and education of its parents than in other advanced countries.”
“He has had a classical education.”
“The educations our children receive depend on their economic status.”
“I found them [my children] all I could wish and progressing rapidly under the truly maternal care of the kind Sisters who cared for their education.”
