The True Gift of Education Is More Giving
Bathina, Jyothi
Phi Delta Kappan, v96 n1 p64-67 Sep 2014

They hadn't anticipated the quiet successes in the schools and classrooms they visited, causing them nearly overnight to switch from being experts to novices. No matter the socioeconomic status of the school, most striking was the high value placed on education, not only as an end that would result in personal success, but as a means for uplifting society as a whole.
