The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing. What's more, formal education stops; self-education never does.
Isaac Asimov

A prolific biochemist and author, most famous for his science fiction. He was a passionate advocate for rational thought and lifelong learning, viewing formal education as merely the foundation for a never-ending personal quest for knowledge.

This redefines the goal of education. It is not the transfer of information, but the equipping of a student with the tools, curiosity, and discipline to become their own teacher for the rest of their life.

What are you currently teaching yourself outside of any formal structure, and how did your formal education (or lack thereof) make that self-education easier or harder?

Aldous Huxley /
"Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice."
"Aldous Leonard Huxley was an English writer and philosopher. He wrote nearly 50 books—both novels and non-fiction works—as well as wide-ranging essays, narratives, and poems. Born into the prominent Huxley family, he graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with an undergraduate degree in English literature."

Hermann Hesse:
"People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest."

Hesse’s insight cuts into society’s fear of authenticity. Those who dare to live truthfully often unsettle those who live comfortably in illusion. Courage is rarely admired in its time — it’s misunderstood, resisted, even condemned. Yet it is the fire that purifies the age.

Why do we distrust those who refuse to conform?

The only ones who paid the price, were those who listened to Dean Clifford and Robert Menard.

Scott just hurt your feelings, with facts. Clifford and Menard ROBBED you.
