Education is overly expensive. Gladly pay for it anyway, because ignorance is even more expensive.

It is unwise to make education too cheap. If everything is provided freely, there is a tendency to put no value on anything. Education must always have a certain price on it; even as the very process of learning itself must always require individual effort and initiative.

Training, Books, Learning is all expensive. Being stupid though is still much more expensive.

Education costs money, but then so does ignorance.

The only thing that is more expensive than education is ignorance.

Education reform doesn't come cheap. But the price of ignorance is far, far greater

the cost of education is trivial compared to the cost of ignorance,

I decided to focus on education first not only because I couldn’t get a college degree but also because the US’s higher-education system is so prohibitively expensive that it prevents students from reaching their full potential.

The means of learning are abundant, the desire to learn is scarce

By a merciful dispensation of Providence university training is almost as costly as it is unprofitable. The majority will thus be always unable to afford it, and will base their opinions on mother wit and current opinion rather than on demonstration.

If it took half the revenue of the nation, nobody would grudge it, nor even if it took it all save a bare pittance. But in truth the expense of educating ten thousand youth is not ten nor five times that of educating one thousand. The principle which makes all operations on a large scale proportionally cheaper than on a small scale holds as to education also.

How can the cost of education be the cost of life? It is unacceptable; it is reprehensible that we have allowed it to fester.

Mass schooling damages children. We don’t need any more of it. And under the guise that it is the same thing as education, it has been picking our pockets just as Socrates predicted it would thousands of years ago. One of the surest ways to recognize real education is by the fact that it doesn’t cost very much, doesn’t depend on expensive toys or gadgets. The experiences that produce it and the Mass schooling that propels it are nearly free. It is hard to turn a dollar on education. But schooling is a wonderful hustle, getting sharper all the time.

Much learning does not teach understanding.
