"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education."


Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I agree with this statement because in most situations, just having knowledge of something is not enough, it is also what you do with it that counts. You can be an intelligent person, but have terrible character, and in the long run in won't help you because no-one wants someone who can't socialize or has awful morals. I believe education struggles to teach us character though. We have to learn character all by ourselves, and that is a very difficult thing to do when you have no guidance. It is much easier to gain intelligence, but it is a much more difficult task to teach someone character.

"Obedience ... is the primary object of all sound education."


Elizabeth Missing Sewell


I agree with this statement because out of all my years in school there is nothing that bothered me more than people that wouldn't be quiet when the teacher was talking. Just people who thought they were cool because they disobeyed the teacher bothered me to no end. It is always the same problem someone talks and the teacher has to stop and tell them to quit interrupting.
