other topics in the schools?

Thanks,

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to
make yourself to do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done
whether you like it or not.  It is the first lesson that ought to be learned
and however early a person's training begins, it is probably the last
lesson a person learns thoroughly.
