Education

1. Education has as one of its fundamental aspects the imparting of culture from generation to generation.

2. The education of an individual human begins at birth and continues throughout life. Some believe that education begins even before birth, as evidenced by some parents’ playing music or reading to the baby in the womb in the hope it will influence the child’s development.

3. For some, the struggles and triumphs of daily life provide for more instruction than does formal schooling (thus Mark Twain’s admonition to “never let school interfere with your education”).
