Three Great Quotes About Education

Today is the last day of school.

I used to dread summer vacation.  One year, the thought of all four of my school-aged children home for three months sent me to the basement to weep.

But something has changed me.  Perhaps it’s the repeated, gentle reminders of a friend who sends her last child off to college this August.  Or my oldest son’s 15th birthday and the realization that in three years I will send him away.  I’m over tired and prone to tears.  Big on sentiment.  I’ve embraced end of year activities with unusual enthusiasm this May because I finally realize these days will end, and I will miss them.

In my spirit of reflection, I dug up quotes on education for teacher cards and gifts.  I think you might like them too.

Happy summer.

  1. I’m so jealous – we have three more weeks to go! Hope your summer is relaxing, fun, and full of great books, Julia.

  2. Wonderful quotes! We’ve got one in college already and one who’s about to be a senior. The 6YO finished Kindergarten this year and I got weepy thinking about how fast she’ll grow up…time flies!

  3. I am not a teacher, but probably would have been had I not gotten married right away after high school. I love these quotes. Thanks for sharing. If your oldest is 15, your summers are bound to change. Next comes summer jobs, driving, romantic interests and all those other challenges. Have a great coming into adulthood summer.
