You've all seen the quote:

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."

But, what was Henry Adams "really" talking about???

He was "really" talking about BAD education and its lasting affect on society. In other words, here's what Henry Adams was "really" saying:

"Be careful. The system of education is inadequate, and a half baked attempt to educate is dangerous. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell how badly ****ed up everything will be when he is done with it."
