The entire object of true education is to make people not merely to do the right things, but enjoy them; not merely industrious, but to love industry; not merely learned, but to love knowledge; not merely pure, but to love purity; not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.
John Ruskin Parents become more mature by just surviving a few years of homeschooling. Their pride is humbled by seeing how much they don't know. Their willfulness is controlled by self sacrifice. Their laziness is replaced with self discipline and industry when required to hold down the equivalent of a second job. J. Richard Fugate The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it. (from my 1996 notes-to-self in my 1st "Teacher's Planner") John Ruskin |
