Is there anything called pure education?
Education standards as such can’t do much to improve the standards of living or the quality of living. For the later virtues we have to search for salvation, not in education but in economics and culture.

And comes to the inevitable but sad conclusion that no prodding of children or parents to go (or send their children) into schools would do.
