“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The people who have really made history are the martyrs.”
