We've been brainwashed into thinking that it takes more monies than it actually does to educate children. That's been one of the brainwash jobs.

You can pay people to teach, But you can't pay them to care.

I have discovered few learning disabled students in my three decades of teaching. I have, however, discovered many, many victims of teaching inabilities.

The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior.

There is a lot of money to be made from miseducation, from the easy to read easy to learn textbooks, workbooks, teacher manuals, educational games and visual aids. The textbook business is more than a billion-dollar-a-year industry and some of its biggest profits come from 'audio-visual aids' - flash cards, tape cassettes, and filmstrips. No wonder the education industry encourages schools to focus on surface education.

I cannot change the world, but I do not have to conform.

Teaching children to read was one thing; keeping them interested in reading was something else.
