Uplifting thoughts on the value and meaning of education

Educating the masses is a critical feature of the functioning of a modern society, yet doing it properly is becoming more difficult with each passing year. The goal of the public school system is to educate each child according to their ability, yet those abilities have vast differences. Children have different ways of learning, yet the school system is forced to mass produce the educational process. This book will not help solve this problem; the goal here is to lighten the heart and to put education in the proper social perspective. The value of education, both the short term of classroom attendance and long-term continuing education are praised in this book. Teachers are also praised for performing the difficult task of trying to educate everyone in a situation where individual attention is often a far better approach. No matter whether you are a student, educator or interested observer of the educational process, this book contains something that will uplift your spirits.
