The Quote About Education

The quote about education is saying that it has two main objects.  First is the basics, like math and English.  The second is to gain knowledge and habits that will help you in the long run.  

In school, the basics we learn are math and English.  The second is to gain habits and life long skills.  For example, in school I learned different study habits.  Studying will help me in life outside of school, like if I were to take a driving test.  I would have already studied for the test and pass.  Driving will help me in life for transportation.  Also, if I were to practice interviewing, and having a business portfolio with a resume, then that will help me find a job.  These are examples of someone gaining knowledge that helps them in life.
