"Whatever you live . . . "

Submitted by alesnick on Tue, 12/06/2011 - 12:40pm.

The experience of a split between school and "real life" is a deep problem for formal education/academia.  Why do you think school doesn't always feel "real?" 

In this connection, I have always liked this quote, of Robert Penn Warren:

"The time has come to hand me down my walking cane

for I've got to catch the midnight train

for all my sin in taken away

for whatever you live is life."
