Got Education?

Ok, ok...  Here are what some important people have said about education...

------
"The founding fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on their parents.  So they provided jails called school, equipped with tortures called education."  John Updike

"Education is the state-controlled manufactory of echoes."  Norman Douglas

"I am always ready to learn, but I do not always like being taught."  Winston Churchill

"School days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence.  They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, and brutal violations of common sense and common decency."  H.L. Mencken

"You cannot teach a person anything; you can only help him find it within himself."  Galileo

"There is too much education altogether, especially in American schools."  Albert Einstein

"I never let schooling interfere with my education."  Mark Twain

Hmm... makes you wonder, doesn't it?
