Education of the Child

When you teach a child knowledge and values;
an informed kind lazy monster will live in your midst

When you teach a child values and skills;
an ignorant  worker angel will live in your midst

When you teach a child knowledge and skills;
 an intellectual killer dragon will live in your midst

But when you balance knowledge, values and skills;
an informed Godly builder of nation will live in your midst
