Education Quote Game

Agree / DisagreeWhy / Why Not

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

Agree / DisagreeWhy / Why Not

Educating the mindwithout educating the heart

is no education at all.

Agree / DisagreeWhy / Why Not

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

Agree / DisagreeWhy / Why Not

Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger

generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity

or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to

participate in the transformation of their world.

Agree / DisagreeWhy / Why Not

The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things,

not simply of repeating what other generations have done –

men who are creative, inventive, and discoverers.

Agree / DisagreeWhy / Why Not

We have sold ourselves into a fast food model of education,

and it's impoverishing our spirit and our energies as much as fast food is depleting our physical bodies.
