Discuss and illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on education.I have to answer this question about Walden and I can't remember where in the book he talks...

Walden is a work in which Thoreau
expresses his views and philosophies about all manner of things--from bugs to books to
"brute neighbors."  His conversation in chapter 3, "Reading," seems to me the jumping
off point for the question you've been given.  Here, Thoreau bemoans the failure of the
current (to his time, of course) educational system and students who are no longer being
taught the classics.  He goes on to make the case for using the classics to enhance both
the mind and the spirit.  Hope that gets you started!
