教育主要是个人的私事，和中小学或者大学基本上没什么关系。

Education is not a personal matter in a large sense, and it certainly has a lot to do with school or college.

1. It is not difficult to understand that education directly benefits the individual receiver of education.

2. Furthermore, the education of an individual concerns the interests of the whole society.

3. With the dramatic increase in knowledge today, it is impossible to educate oneself without the involvement of school or college.

无论是作为教育者、雇主或者是父母，教育最好的方法就是赞扬积极的行为而无视消极的行为。

The statement overlooks circumstances under which praise might be inappropriate, as well as ignoring the beneficial value of constructive criticism, and sometimes even punishment.

1. The recommendation that parents, teachers and employers praise positive actions is generally good advice.

2. While recommending praise for positive actions is fundamentally sound advice, this advice should carry with it certain caveats.

3. As for ignoring negative actions, I agree that minor peccadilloes can, and in many cases should, be overlooked.

4. At the same time, some measure of constructive criticism and critique, and sometimes even punishment, is appropriate.
