Whoever said there's no such thing as a stupid question never looked carefully at a standardized test.

To control students is to force them to accommodate to a preestablished curriculum.

If faculty would relax their emphasis on grades, this might serve not to lower standards but to encourage an orientation toward learning.

Don't let anyone tell you that standardized tests are not accurate measures. The truth of the matter is they offer a remarkably precise method for gauging the size of the houses near the school where the test was administered.

When we do things that are controlling, whether intentional or not, we are not going to get those long-term outcomes.

Independence is useful, but caring attitudes and behaviors shrivel up in a culture where each person is responsible only for himself.

Saying you taught it but the student didn't learn it is like saying you sold it but the customer didn't buy it.
