Since most schools are back in session -

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.
- Bill Beattie

Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 1917 - 1963
