Here are a few of my favorites.
Albert Einstein
Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.
Beatrix Potter
Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
Mark Twain
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education
William Butler Yeats
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire
Martin Luther
I am much afraid that schools will prove to be great gates of hell,
unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures,
engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place
his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every
institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with
the Word of God must become corrupt.
Agatha Chrisite
I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas. "
Melinda Harmon , Federal Judge 1996
Parents give up their rights when they drop the children off at public school.
Anne Sullivan
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must taught to think. Whereas if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less slowly. Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table while a sweet-voiced teacher suggest that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of colored paper, or plant straw trees in flower pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experiences. "
