We can pay teachers a hundred thousand dollars a year, and we'll do nothing to improve our schools as long as we keep the A, B, C, D, F grading system.

When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.

If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.

Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.

Running a school where the students all succeed, even if some students have to help others to make the grade, is good preparation for democracy.

What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.

When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
