“Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.” – Mark Twain
I was reading an article on college admissions recently that reminded me of another great quote.
“When I was a teenager I knew everything. After many years of education and life I have learned that I knew nothing.”
A good college is one that challenges your perception of the world. A place where the rug is pulled out from under you and you have to scramble to find a footing that is secure.
It is a shame that we don’t continue to have the same ideals in lower education. We have lost our understanding of what education is.
I salute those who help people to unlearn!
