““Freedom” is not just for playtime or break, although playing is an essential part of education. In a sense, the goal of education—certainly the goal of a Liberal Arts education, which begins in kindergarten—is the growth in freedom, both intellectual and spiritual, that comes from knowing the truth. It is the truth that sets us free. Or at least, through learning the truth—about the world, about ourselves—we gain a more important kind of freedom than any we acquire by, let’s say, increased mobility, or more shelves in the supermarket. So our education, which leads us out of ourselves, or beyond ourselves (the word educare means “leading out”), is all the time leading us into a wider world, a greater freedom.” ~ Stratford Caldecott
