Education Quote by Ash Sweeney
“Peace teaches us caring and kindness School teaches us math and science Work teaches us considering goals and common sense Life teaches us to live War teaches us how to shoot a gun, how to kill, where to shoot, how to throw grenades, and how to use a tank. And yet more kids play war games on their Xbox than paying attention in school. More people need to spend time to learn how to shoot a gun in case of terrorists than they can spend time learning better work ethics, common sense, and going after good goals. Our world is screwed up, and we better hope that there are humans smarter than us, because it isn't looking like we are going to make it past the 21st century.”
