People have to live by rules in the world. Why do we pretend in school that they don't?

Kids don't fail. Teachers fail, school systems fail. The people who teach children that they are failures, they are the problem.

If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything.

When someone is taught the joy of learning, it becomes a life-long process that never stops, a process that creates a logical individual. That is the challenge and joy of teaching.

An error means a child needs help, not a reprimand or ridicule for doing something wrong.

I don't have to be accountable to some authority, which is why I don't take federal funds. I don't want anyone's monies unless they're monies without strings attached. It's not that we don't need them.

Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
