What is education?

Taken from Dictionary.com

The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.

The act or process of imparting or acquiring particular knowledge or skills, as for a profession.

A degree, level, or kind of schooling: A university education.

The result produced by instruction, training, or study: to show one's education.

The science or art of teaching; pedagogics.

And there is the more simple version ...

Helping your child learn is a lot easier than experts like to make out. You already have all the starting points that you need to help them on their journey - it's called instinct. All you need are some ideas to make the journey enjoyable and fun.
