I don't think it is grammatically incorrect, rather, grammatically clunky. As Faldage points out. "To learn fully is to live fully"Originally Posted By: KateinNZHey, "life is learning", I like that!
I think I'll suggest it to them. Thanks!
But is it living life fully?
I think the original (though clunky)has a sense of striving about it that the kids could be rewarded for in the end.
Kia ora Kate.
