I am an education major at Texas Women's University. I am taking an advanced writing class and required to write a paper about how others view education. I would like to know how you define a good education? You may remain anonymous or you can provide your name with your respose. I would appreciate it if you could provide your title; teacher, parent, educator, etc. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated and will help me prepare for my project. Thank You, Tina Luxenberg
