"The home is the cradle of virtue, the place where character is formed and habits are established." ~Gordon B. Hinkley
"True education seeks, then, to make men and women not only good mathematicians, proficient linguists, profound scientists, or brilliant literary lights, but also honest men, combined with virtue, wisdom, benevolence, and self-control as the choicest acquisitions of a successful life..." ~David O. McKay
"I tried to never let my schooling interfere with my education." ~Mark Twain
"My grandmother wanted me to have an education, so she kept me out of school." ~Margaret Mead
"God has implanted deep in the souls of parents the truth that they cannot with impunity shirk the responsibility to protect childhood and youth. There seems to be a growing tendency to shift this responsibility from the home to outside influences, such as the school and the church. Important as these outward influences are, they never can take the place of the influence of the mother and the father." ~David O. McKay
"Education can’t be fixed as long as we believe this basic myth. The myth is that it is possible for one human being to educate another. The fact is that the only person who can fix education is the student." ~Oliver DeMille
In many places it is literally not safe physically for youngsters to go to school. And in many schools-- and it's becoming almost generally true-- it is spiritually unsafe to attend public schools. Look back over the history of education to the turn of the century and the beginning of the educational philosophies, pragmatism and humanism were the early ones, and they branched out into a number of philosophies which have led us now into a circumstance where our schools are producing the problems we face." ~Boyd K. Packer
