No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.

Effective teaching may be the hardest job there is.

The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.

I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.

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

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?

To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.
