GNU Project's publication of CIDE, the Collaborative International Dictionary of English Education \Ed`u*ca"tion\ (?; 135), n. [L. educatio; cf. F.
['e]ducation.]
The act or process of educating; the result of educating, as
determined by the knowledge skill, or discipline of
character, acquired; also, the act or process of training by
a prescribed or customary course of study or discipline; as,
an education for the bar or the pulpit; he has finished his
education.
[1913 Webster]

To prepare us for complete living is the function which
education has to discharge. --H. Spenser.

Syn: Education, Instruction, Teaching, Training,
Breeding.

Usage: Education, properly a drawing forth, implies not so
much the communication of knowledge as the discipline
of the intellect, the establishment of the principles,
and the regulation of the heart. Instruction is that
part of education which furnishes the mind with
knowledge. Teaching is the same, being simply more
familiar. It is also applied to practice; as, teaching
to speak a language; teaching a dog to do tricks.
Training is a department of education in which the
chief element is exercise or practice for the purpose
of imparting facility in any physical or mental
operation. Breeding commonly relates to the manners
and outward conduct.
[1913 Webster]

Jargon Education

Nearly all hackers past their teens are either college-degreed or
self-educated to an equivalent level. The self-taught hacker is often
considered (at least by other hackers) to be better-motivated, and may be
more respected, than his school-shaped counterpart. Academic areas from
which people often gravitate into hackerdom include (besides the obvious
computer science and electrical engineering) physics, mathematics,
linguistics, and philosophy.


EDUCATION, n. That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.
