Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. -B.F. Skinner

What i got out of this quote is that when a person is taught something truly meaningful they can never forget it because it is added to the persons education. but if a person tries to learn something on their own they might not be able to fully understand it therefore causing them to forget what they have learned. If a person is taught something properly by a good teacher then their education will be with them forever.
