To This Great Stage of Fools: Born October 20th

Thomas Hughes, b. 1822.

Arthur Rimbaud, b. 1854. A decadent poet for my French readers.
Fortunately, I don’t read French.

John Dewey, b. 1859, pragmatist and educator. In fact, Dewey was so pragmatic that if you don’t like this quotation, you can probably find one that says the exact opposite that you will like.

Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.”

I’m not much of a fan of Mr. Dewey, but the above statement rings true and meshes well with home-schooling.

  1. Hello, as a fellow homeschooler if nothing else I like the quote. I also enjoy your blog, and am linking it to my book review site. If you’d like please visit both of my blogs.
    Peace and blessings
