Back-To-School Quotes For Inspiration

Back-to-school is definitely here! You have either already started back or like many, will be returning the day after Labor Day. This time of year can be a hard transition; going from all the freedom and excitement that summer offers you to a structured day of sometimes very mundane activities.

However, we all know that school/education sets the foundation for the rest of your child’s life and we want them (and you) to have a little motivation to take you into the 2014/2015 school year so we are sharing some inspirational and some funny quotes that we found.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~Edgar W. Howe

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.  ~Sydney J. Harris

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.  ~John Dewey

Respect your parents. They passed school without Google

There are three good reasons to be a teacher – June, July, and August. ~Author Unknown

Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom. ~ Oprah Winfrey

Education is the movement from darkness to light. ~ Allan Bloom

The highest result of education is tolerance. ~ Helen Keller

Schoolteachers are not fully appreciated by parents, until it rains all day Saturday. ~ E.C. Mckenzie

Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. ~ John F. Kennedy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And just for some laughs!

And let’s have Weird Al Yankovic remind us all why we need to pay attention in school. 😉

Do you have an inspirational quote or fun saying about school or education that you want to share?

Imperfect Women would like to wish everyone a wonderful start to the new academic year and we hope everyone has a  fantastic 2014/2015 school year!

    LOL at the old gum one, but seriously – that is true. I have mixed feelings about my boys going back this week. On one hand I miss them, but on the other, I am happy we are back in a routine.

    We have one that we use at school quite often. It’s not a quote but it’s funny. “The next person who says, “You’re a teacher? You just play all day!” will be locked into my classroom and the children will be given cupcakes.” 😀
