      Very nice quote indeed! I think that education plays a very vital role in shaping one’s personality. Education must be given a wholisitc approach so that people can be intelligent alongwith a sharp intellect as well. This will be a formation of a very good moral and character indeed! I liked your blog very much and here it is I am bookmarking it: http://del.icio.us/britneyvaughan

      Very true. However, I have recently discovered how some educational institutes seem to quell the flame. Good and inspiring teacher’s are a must, and can make almost any subject intriguing.

      Gotta’ love Socrates. Another way of saying it is that you shouldn’t let school get in the way of your education.

      Education…. what is education??? Hmmmmm….

      I think those who are well-educated are not necessarily those who have acquired a significant amount of information but those who have consistently posed the important questions from what they have leanred.

      Hello Guys,

      Thanks for sharing Interesting article..

      I read somewhere teachers get paid six figures to teach. The article is at http://payteachersmore.com/?p=29
      Do you think education will improve if teachers are paid more? I think so. This is much interesting and informative…

      Well keep on Posting..
      Visit you again.
