We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.

The ultimate use of power is to empower others.

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.

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.

Without pay, no human being will work up to their ability if he or she is not cared for and respected.

Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?

The more a person perceives that he/she is loved, the less they will interfere with the lives of others.
