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.

I think what we've done is given children a lot of things that they didn't ask for instead of what they do want.

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

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

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

Mr. Meant-to has a friend, his name is Didn't-Do. Have you met them? They live together in a house called Never-Win. And I am told that it is haunted by the Ghost of Might-have-Been.

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