- If you had previously heard of the quote “Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life,” did you have any preconceived ideas about what did you think was meant by “Education is a Life”?
- What does it mean to you now that you have read more about it? How did your understanding of “life” change, if any?
- What ideas, if any, did you gain from your own education as a child?
- What ideas have helped to shape the person that you are today?
