Final Thoughts

I have learned so much in this course, and I am tad bit sad to see if come to an end.  I am looking forward to the next course.

I chose the following quotes and picture because they spoke to my beliefs in the educational process.

"The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men."  ~Bill Beattie

"Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail.  What you gain at one end you lose at the other.  It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.  It won't fatten the dog."  ~Mark Twain

"A child educated only at school is an uneducated child."  ~George Santayana

"He who opens a school door, closes a prison." ~Victor Hugo
