"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today" (Richardson 382). One of the most amazing things people have dreamt to obtain is the “American Dream”. It is so profound in all the things it can symbolize.

My Likes and Dislikes of Athenian Education In this assignment I am going to be discussing what I would like and dislike about Athenian education. Firstly I am going to discuss an Athenian girls education because there is quite little of it. Girls didn't go to school, they stayed at home with their mothers so they never learnt how to read or write. At home they would learn how to run the household and keep everything tidy. They would be taught how to do the cooking, spinning, weaving and

College is becoming very expensive for Americans all over the Universe. Furthering ones education beyond high school is almost not even an option in today’s society.
