Education does not exist for the benefit of students or for the benefit of their parents. It's exists for the benefit of social order. You do not need to be a student or have a child who is a student to benefit from education. Every second of every day of your life, you benefit from education. Saminu Kanti
About This Quote

Dr. Timothy Leary said that education does not exist for the benefit of students or for the benefit of their parents. In this quote, he is saying that education is a tool to keep people in check and make them behave in a way that benefits society. Education is a tool used by society to make sure we stay on the right path, and if we stray from it, we must be brought back in line.

The question really comes down to whether or not we want to stay on the right path or stray from it. What would happen if you did not learn your lessons? What will happen if you leave your family or your children behind? Will you be able to grow old gracefully?
