“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” (Psalm 111:10a)  Respect for God is the first step to learning.  It is the path of knowledge.  Obedience to Him is a way of knowing.  Children who have not learned to obey and respect their teachers will never be great learners.  Some folks tend to know too much to be a true disciple.  They cannot sit at the feet of the Teacher.  To worship God in holy awe is the way we will gain the wisdom we need for life.
