Quotation

It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think, if that is possible, and always to think for themselves.

At times when I think of teachers that got me where I am today, always one comes to my mine Ms. Fernanadez, she was my spanish language arts teacher in High School, well after I graduated and was in College since I was so young she always would show up on Saturdays to make sure I was able to hold my own. Reading this quote not only brings her back to my thoughts but it brings both my parents "mom & dad", they were no college grads but they always made sure I would think for myself. So that makes my parents the best teachers I ever had in life!
