About This Quote

The chief wonder of education is that it does not ruin everybody concerned in it, teachers and taught. Education is wonderful, but it’s not always fun. And for many people, even when they do enjoy it, they don’t always agree with the particular approach their school takes. In the end, however, education does make a difference, and there’s no denying that. It’s up to each of us to decide how much difference we want to make.
