"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten." ― B. F. Skinner Topic(s): Education More From B. F. Skinner "The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount." "A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying." "Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless." More In Education "I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will – that’s just the bottom line."― Bo Jackson "Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments."― Bobby Scott "My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up."― Jennifer Garner
