The Education Forum--Part II
Real Life 101
| "A well-educated person needs the following skills: the strength to walk away from destructive relationships -- all types." |
|
| I give people the same advice that my parents gave me: "Go look it up in the dictionary." | "Jessie waited a long time to use her education. She was old-fashioned in some ways -- her husband, Walter, was the top banana in the house." |
The Classical Approach
|
"Education is the only profession where the more educated you are, the more experience you have and the more you improve yourself, the less valuable you are." |
What Are Colleges For?
| "I am not belittling people with degrees." |
|
| "Perhaps I should preface this by saying that my doctoral degree is in -- better sit down for this one -- dance." | |
Parental Responsibility
|
|
"Parents are becoming parents for the wrong reasons." |
| "Take Hannibal Lector, for example, the villain from Silence of the Lambs." | |
A World of Ideas
| "What about all of the high achieving, scholarly people who have gone on to success because of good old-fashioned skill drills and spanking?" | |
| "were they expecting me to figure out what I wanted to do with my life at 18?" |
