I chose a quote by John Dewey. I believe the meaning of the quote is that education has to do with everything in your life. The quote says “Education is growth.”  I think this means that education makes you grow not just in your knowledge but also as a person. Also in the quote is says “Education is not a preparation for life; Education is life itself.” This, I believe, means that you should never stop trying to further your education. As life goes on so does your education.

I think that this quote is relevant to today’s education because people are always furthering their education. The quote talks about how education is a social process and how it is a growth, this is and I think will always be true. We use education to further our social skills and to further our growth. 

The quote by Thomas Jefferson that I chose has a big impact on the history of education. At the time that education was becoming a bigger deal. It was becoming available to more people. Thomas Jefferson believed that education was the key to many things. He thought that if common people were well educated they could take part in democratic government. I think this quote tells how education can benefit you in many ways.

            This quote by Thomas Jefferson still relates to our society today. I think that people should always be well informed. You really can’t trust a person if they are uneducated and uninformed. Once a person has been well informed then they can be trusted. The quote says a person can be trusted with their government but if they are well informed then they can be trusted with many other things.
