Katharos: although you may not be able to physically stay in school for your whole life (unless you become a teacher or a professor), you can certainly learn forever. There are more books to read than you’ll ever get through, and more places to visit than you can ever see, etc. I am still amazed, in my 40s, how much there is to learn. The worst of that is that so much of what I learned when I was younger was wrong, or has changed. You’ll find that will happen to you as well.

For instance, I have learned that literacy rates in colonial America were HIGHER than they have been since mandatory attendance in public schools was instituted. Makes ya go hmmmm…
