An education is not just being handed the knowledge in a class room. It has more to do with giving children the tools to continue to learn after they leave a school setting. When we teach them to research and question, it develops an interest in learning.
I was taught the basics in Elementary school. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. I was also taught how to research through the use of a library, there were no computers in those days only rows and rows of card files to paw through in alphabetical order.
I learned more after graduating from school when I was married than in any school setting, because I had those skills.
When a person is highly motivated by the interest in learning, they can continually learn into their old age. I hope I never stop learning.
