EDUCATION IS THE ACQUISITION OF THE ART OF UTILIZING KNOWLEDGE |

I can give you an example - for instance, you can teach two medical knowledge, but if you don �t educate them how to use that knowledge, one of them will forget all about it or use it only for personal purposes(or if it �s a psycho, use it for criminal purposes), and the other one who gets educated will become a urse or doctor, etc. Perhaps that �s not the best example, but the point is knowledge without education is theory without practice and facts without morality. Or, to paraphrase Rowling �s Dumbledore, it is not our abilities (read: knowledge) that define who we are; it is our choices (and education is supposed to guide you into making the right choices). That �s what I think.
