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

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

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

We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.

The ultimate use of power is to empower others.

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.

The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.
