None of you has ever failed. School may have failed you. Goodbye to failure, children. Welcome to success.

I'm a teacher. A teacher is someone who leads. There is no magic here. I do not walk on water. I do not part the sea. I just love children.

I was very, very unhappy with even the so-called very elite schools. The one thing I've always done every day with my children is to watch what they do at school, and I was always a bit unhappy with the academic program. It was a kind of hit and miss.

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.

There is a brilliant child locked inside every student.

Everything works when the teacher works. It's as easy as that, and as hard.

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.
