**some of my favorites**
“I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids.” Dolly Parton
“How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?” Henry David Thoreau
“He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.” Benjamin Franklin
“Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.” Chesterson
“It is among the commonplaces of education that we often first cut off the living root and then try to replace its natural functions by artificial means. Thus we suppress the child's curiosity and then when he lacks a natural interest in learning he is offered special coaching for his scholastic difficulties.” Alice Duer Miller
“School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.” John Updike
