Favorite quote by a Scientist concerning education:
“I
was made acutely aware how far superior an education
that stresses independent action and personal responsibility
is to one that relies on drill, external authority, and
ambition.”
-Quote by Albert Einstein reflecting
upon his educational experiences.- |
