Education needs tending

#ath #advice

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She is known for her insightful depictions of upper-class society in the United States during the Gilded Age.

Regarding her views on education, based on my knowledge, Edith Wharton did not explicitly focus on education in her writings. However, her works often critique the constraints and expectations placed upon individuals, particularly women, within the rigid social structures of her time, which implicitly touches upon the limitations of the education they received.

Two thoughts from Edith Wharton

"An education is like a crumbling building that needs constant upkeep with repairs and additions."

"Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all the deadly sins."
