Just A Thought ~ HOW LITTLE WE KNOW

"Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it."

~ Sir William Haley ~

Widespread literacy has not brought us the benefits it should have, as many people do not follow up on their gains and waste what they have. The ability to read and write is of inestimable value for discovering more of our potential; we have not arrived at the sum-total of human endeavor. As it is, many people obviously think that their education is over once they leave school; how they can have understood so little is a mystery.
