Public school is a place of detention for children placed in the care of teachers who are afraid of the principal, principals who are afraid of the school board, school boards who are afraid of the parents, parents who are afraid of the children, and children who are afraid of nobody. (Aiken Howard)
If our education had included training to bear unpleasantness and to let the first shock pass until we could think more calmly, many an unbearable situation would become manageable, and many a nervous illness avoided. There is proverb expressing this. It says, trouble is a tunnel thorough which we pass and not a brick wall against which we must break our head. (Aiken Howard)
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know. (Aiken Howard)

No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God... and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven. (Aiken Howard)
The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence. (Aiken Howard)
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. (Aiken Howard)
Education, we see, is not merely gaining knowledge or skills helpful toward productive work, though certainly that is a part of it. Rather it is a replenishment and an expansion of the natural thirst of the mind and soul. Learning is a gradual process of growth, each step building upon the other. It is a process whereby the learner organizes and integrates not only facts but attitudes and values. The Lord has told us that we must open our minds and our hearts to learn. There is a Chinese proverb: Wisdom is as the moon rises, perceptible not in progress but in result. As our knowledge is converted to wisdom, the door to opportunity is unlocked. (Aiken Howard)
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life. (Aiken Howard)
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching. (Aiken Howard)
I never let schooling interfere with my education. (Aiken Howard)
On my first day of Jr. High I was in Geography class, and the teacher asked us if anybody knew the names of the continents. And I was sooo excited. I was like, Damnit! It's my first day of 7th grade, Im in jr high and i know this answer. So i raised my hand I was the first one and I said A-E-I-O-U! (Aiken Howard)
Not a Harvard-type education, ... Just a not-sticking-up-a-liquor-store-type education. (Aiken Howard)
You know there is a problem with the education system when you realize that out of the 3 R's only one begins with an R (Aiken Howard)
[Watching a fellow actor direct for the first time was] an education ... I feel that for the past 16 years, I've been going to film school. (Aiken Howard)
