I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.

It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.

The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.

The ultimate use of power is to empower others.

When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.

Today much of what we call education is merely knowledge gathering and remembering. Problem solving and thinking, never strong parts of our educational system, have been downgraded in all but a few scientific subjects.

We can teach a lot of things, but if the teacher can't relate by talking to a group of friendly students, he'll never be a competent teacher.
