Education is not an end but a means to an end In other words we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them Our purpose is to fit them for life

In fact when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life it means that we must be educated in such a way that firstly each of us can do whatever work suited to his brain and ability and secondly that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society

Often the exhausted family doesn’t get home until 7 pm Their is just time for a quick supper before homework in today’s world middleclass American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line
