“A whetstone is no carving instrument, And yet it maketh sharp the carving tool; And if you see my efforts wrongly spent, Eschew that course and learn out of my school; For thus the wise may profit by the fool, And edge his wit, and grow more keen and wary, For wisdom shines opposed to its contrary.” IfsMayWisdomSchoolCoursesGrowsEffortWiseFoolToolsInstrumentsShiningEdgesProfitContraryWitCarving Book:Troilus and Cressida Source: Troilus and Cressida

The textbook business is more than a billion-dollar-a-year industry and some of its biggest profits come from 'audio-visual aids' - flash cards, tape cassettes, and filmstrips. No wonder the education industry encourages schools to focus on surface education.” YearsMadeSchoolGamesEasyEducationWonderFocusTeacherIndustryDollarsProfitEducationalSurfaceAidsBillionsCardsVisualsTapeFlashLots Of MoneyTextbooksManualsAudioCassettesAudio Visual Book:Marva Collins Way Source: Marva Collins Way
