Shape the mind...and character

"You got to start preparing now and have a list of your preferred secondary school for your boy," Nat advised.

The present tendency is to shift responsibility to the school. Education makes as much difference to a child as soil and air and sunshine do. A seed will grow better in one soil and climate than in another, but the tree that grows depends on the kind of seed that is sowed.

But remember: knowledge is in the mind, character is in the will. Education must not be of the mind alone, but also of the will.
