== Educational establishment post 1950s ==
"Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality". - [[Thomas Sowell]]
== Interesting education quotes ==
"Education rears disciples, imitators, and routinists, not pioneers of new ideas and creative geniuses. . . . The mark of the creative mind is that it defies a part of what it has learned or, at least, adds something new to it." - [[Ludwig von Mises]]
"Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."[http://www.uky.edu/~eushe2/Pajares/OnFailingG.html][http://www.businessinsider.com/successful-people-who-failed-at-first-2014-3?op=1]
