==================================

Strange "Education" Quotes:

"In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards." - Mark Twain

"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten." - B.F. Skinner

"The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth which it prevents you from achieving." - Russell Green

"Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theater." - Gail Godwin

"Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage." - Joseph Addison

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Student Bloopers

The Humor of Youth

Young people are a prime source of embarrassing statements and bone-headed bloopers. Now it seems that their teachers are sharing all this on the Net.

History teacher and author Richard Lederer strung together a loose history of the world based on unusual statements in student essays. For example:

Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.

Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.

Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg.

Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands.
Net humorist Tina Mancuso collects and shares strange statements in fifth and sixth grade science papers:

Question: What is one horsepower? Answer: One horsepower is the amount of energy it takes to drag a horse 500 feet in one second.

We say the cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation gets blamed for a lot of things people forget to put the top on.

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions are things that are still all mixed up.

You can listen to thunder after lightening and tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don't hear it you got hit, so never mind.

Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun. But I have never been able to make out the numbers.

In looking at a drop of water under a microscope, we find there are twice as many H's as O's.

Clouds are high flying fogs.
