If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement.

The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.

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

This is at the heart of all good education, where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues, constantly checking for understanding and growth.

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

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.

We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
