"Education is not the answer to the question. Education is the means to the answer to all questions."

-- William Allin

Education to me is not the only answer to the question but the meaning of the answer to all the questions. This quote in my views is not only stating that education is the solution to the problem but it signifies that education is the solution to all problems.

More Students Return to Classroom, at Strange Schools in Strange Places

I feel that everyone should work together at a tragic time like this in New York, when a hurricane has occurred and students and their families have lost everything, and when students are in desperate need of educational help. I think it was an agreeable idea to reopen schools at a time where tragedy has occurred because it is a time were everyone should stick together, grow from the disaster that has happened, and effected everyone in some awful way. At the same time it is a time for families to reunite and comfort each other with what has happened. These students, of course, are going through a hard time and especially going to school were they probably are not familiar with students, teachers, or even the surrounding of the school itself. This is why it is a very worthy idea to be able to proceed with their schooling to be able to learn how to cope and grow out of this dilemma that has caused many families to become homeless.

Observations:

I am so proud that there is after-school provided for students who need help on anatomy, math, or any other subject. This is a great way for students to understand or practice what they might be having trouble on in the subject. Teachers take their own time to stay after school for students who need this help and I very much appreciate it.
