She associated school with feeling like a freak. Some of what her schooling taught her about herself -- in this case an ideological concept of equality -- was negative, and that shouldn't be, not if the goal of school is to help every one achieve his or her highest potential. Thus, the concept of schooling, and the social messages the children are learning, is an important one to consider in managing a classroom.
Many people confuse training with education. Of course, training is part of education and the educational process. The author defines training as teaching children to respond in a specific manner -- we train children to see symbols and groups of symbols as meaningful, for example; they have to be able to read and to learn from reading before they can be educated.
We train students to type or do keyboarding so that they can do it almost automatically, without thinking. When society tells children to "stay in school," it is really telling them to get training for a good job. We tell them they will earn more money as a result because they will be qualified for better paying jobs. But training is only one aspect of schooling. We train children to raise their hands before speaking, to take turns, get in line, be on time, etc., and these are important forms of social training. Training is important, but certainly not all there is to being educated. As the authors point out, training has to do with specific skills -- learning to navigate the Internet, for instance, while education is the broader context in which the training...
For example, an uneducated person may "hate" classical music, while an educated person may get great pleasure and enjoyment from going to an opera, ballet, or symphony concert. The enjoyment is enabled by the person's ability to understand what he or she is experiencing. This understanding comes from having been taught to think critically and reflectively -- not what to think, but how to think.
An educated person has the skills to approach something new and get meaning out of it. The author quotes Abraham Flexner who said in 1927, "Education is an intellectual and spiritual process" (8). By "spiritual process" I think he means the ongoing finding and making of meaning in life. This is what makes life rich for a human being. Human spirituality lies in this human ability to find meaning in the events and conditions of life. The educated person is forever able to grow and learn and find meaning. When we teach children to think critically, we teach them to find meaning. The author says that education "involves reason, the intellect, intuition, creativity," by providing a set of experiences that enable humans to create themselves. Along the way during this process, they pick up values that result in decency, caring, a willingness to participate as a citizen, and a desire to make the world a better place.

Schooling in Renaissance Italy Grendler, Paul F. Schooling in Renaissance Italy: Literacy and Learning 1300-1600. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1991.
