From my fortune cookie yesterday:
A brief search said it is attributed to Sudie Back .
Like many deep sayings, the really interesting thing is the extent to which it is not true. There's a reason we send kids to school, and then older kids to college, even if they are only interested in kite-flying and binge-drinking respectively. If you stop for a moment of honest reflection, it is amazing what you pick up without even trying.
I bet if you took a sample of random kids and sent some to college and prevented the others from going, the college group would spend more time thinking about certain specific socially-valued college-related topics than the control group.
If you want a horse to drink, it often helps to lead him to water.
Or it could go horribly wrong... ;)
