SeekingSimplicity Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 There is a quote I've seen on different homeschooling sites, and now I can't find it. I'm wanting to say it is by Socrates, but I could be completely wrong about that. It says something to the effect that if you were to have to pay money to send your kids somewhere to learn every thing that most adults already know (and could therefore teach the children around them) that it would be a big rip off. I'm really heavily paraphrasing based on what I remember it saying.... but it was something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Did you try Bartleby's Quotes online (I hope I spelled that right.)? You could search with key words. I'm not familiar with the phrase. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with the phrase. Sorry. No I hadn't. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Trying on google, I can't remember enough of how it's actually phrased to come up with anything. Thanks!

Socrates is what keeps coming to my mind, but I could be wrong about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Knoll Mom Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Is it this one? How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the rule of three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? No; a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute.-- G.K. Chesterton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
