I know all the problems of the schools. They're rigid, they're bureaucratic, they've got a lot of problems. But it's such an important institution, and holds such promise.

I study children, and they're my subjects in my studies. They're my colleagues, really, all these little kids. And I owe them.

I don't think anything good is happening. I think we're paying the price for it. I think while crime in general is going down, youth crime is going up. I think mental health problems of the youth are going up. You can't show causality. It's a hard stretch.

It's also the environment that determines a considerable part of the growth and development of children.

So there's much more to life than one's intelligence score. To be a decent human being. To have some character.

I guess if you're doing God's work, whatever you do is in His name.

We have to stop harming children in child care. I'm trying to make us stop. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise.
