This mural is sandblasted on the entry to the NC Department of Public Education building. The sayings on it caught my eye immediately. It's a little hard to read in the picture, but here are a few:
- Learning in old age is writing on sand but learning in youth is engraving on stone.
- You are a child you are suitable to be awed.
- by example almost never by words.
- Love worked where discipline failed.
- Nothing but ignorance is more expensive than education.
The mural is 25 years old, and according to this article, is still controversial.
