"Education and work are levers to uplift a people. Work alone will not do it unless inspired by the right ideals and guided by intelligence. Education must not simply teach work-it must teach life." - W. E. B. DuBois, The Negro Problem, 1903
Although this quote is more than 100 years old, the words still ring true for our society today. Please explain what you think "Education must not simply teach work-it must teach life" meant then and what it means now.
