"Education would be so much more effective if
its purpose were to ensure that by the time they
leave school every boy and girl should know how
much they don't know, and be imbued with a
lifelong desire to know it." -- Sir William
Haley "I cannot teach anybody anything, I can
only make them think."

statistics contained in Back to School Stats,
which offers data about American elementary,
secondary and postsecondary schools, students,
and the educational process"
