[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

It's more important that our kids get into Heaven than Harvard.

The irony is that aiming for the former will often result in the latter.

Take at hazard one hundred children of several educated generations and one hundred uneducated children of the people and compare them in anything you please; in strength, in agility, in mind, in the ability to acquire knowledge, even in morality—and in all respects you are startled by the vast superiority on the side of the children of the uneducated.

— Count Leo Tolstoy, "Education and Children" (1862)

It terrifies me that so many conservatives believe in compulsory schooling, even after having attended.
