1. tuition

   Education (Latin educere, to lead or draw out) is the systematic development and cultivation of the mind and other natural powers. "Education is the harmonious development of all our faculties. It begins in the nursery, and goes on at school, but does not end there. It continues through life, whether we will or not.... 'Every person,' says Gibbon, 'has two educations, one which he receives from others, and one more important, which he gives himself.'" John Lubbock The Use of Life ch. vii, p. 111. [Macmillan & Co. '94.] Instruction, the impartation of knowledge by others (Latin instruere, to build in or into) is but a part of education, often the smallest part. Teaching is the more familiar and less formal word for instruction. Training refers not merely to the impartation of knowledge, but to the exercising of one in actions with the design to form habits. Discipline is systematic and rigorous training, with the idea of subjection to authority and perhaps of punishment. Tuition is the technical term for teaching as the business of an instructor or as in the routine of a school; tuition is narrower than teaching, not, like the latter word, including training. Study is emphatically what one does for himself. We speak of the teaching, training, or discipline, but not of the education or tuition of a dog or a horse. Breeding and nurture include teaching and training, especially as directed by and dependent upon home life and personal association; breeding having reference largely to manners with such qualities as are deemed distinctively characteristic of high birth; nurture (literally nourishing) having more direct reference to moral qualities, not overlooking the physical and mental. Knowledge and learning tell nothing of mental development apart from the capacity to acquire and remember, and nothing whatever of that moral development which is included in education in its fullest and noblest sense; learning, too, may be acquired by one's unaided industry, but any full education must be the result in great part of instruction, training, and personal association. Study is emphatically what one does for himself, and in which instruction and tuition can only point the way, encourage the student to advance, and remove obstacles; vigorous, persevering study is one of the best elements of training. Study is also used in the sense of the thing studied, a subject to be mastered by study, a studious pursuit. Compare KNOWLEDGE; REFINEMENT; WISDOM.

How to use tuition in a sentence?

1. Lucy Tu:

   It has been a whirlwind of disappointment and I'm trying to stay optimistic, but when we decided we would be committing to tuition costs, it was with the understanding I would be getting the full benefit of the resources on campus and be with my peers. The classes are a small part of what you are paying for.

2. Scott Galloway:

   Universities have backed themselves into a corner, we have raised tuition on average 2 1/2 - fold over the last 20 years. I think Covid-19 was just the straw that broke the camel's back, where families across America are saying,' Enough already. We're not going to pay $ 58,000 for Zoom classes.'.

3. Scott Walker:

   Our proposal gives new cost-saving reforms to the UW through an authority—while freezing tuition. We believe it is a good plan, let the debate begin.

4. David Boies:

   The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the Government from imposing religious-based restrictions on the personal decisions of individual citizens, here, the State attempts to use religious criteria to decree to which secondary school parents may send their children simply because the parents receive generally available tuition assistance. This law strikes at the heart of, and is clearly prohibited by, the Free Exercise Clause.

5. Ricarda Braatz:

   We have a Washoe County school district which is face-to-face for the elementary students, five days a week and then hybrid, [ with ] an A and B schedule for middle and high school. In Silver State, we have all three models opening up. STUDENTS DEMAND TUITION CUTS AS MORE COLLEGES PIVOT TO VIRTUAL LEARNING Debates over whether to send students back to the classroom or maintain remote learning have been a polarizing and politically charged subject.PresidentTrump has advocated for schools to fully re-open across the board, while Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has pushed for a more cautiousapproach that takes into accountlocalinfection rates. Coronavirus hospitalizations in Nevada have continued to drop and the daily positivity rate has decreased to 9.1 %, according to data from the Southern Nevada Health District released last Friday. For Ricarda Braatz, sending her two kids back to school was a no-brainer. Does the risk of sending them to school outweigh the risk of keeping them at home ? I think very much so, i think that were doing a disservice by not sending them back.
