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

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

When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.

We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.

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

What we get, and all we ever get, from the outside is information; how we choose to act on this information is up to us.

Prior to being allowed to enter the profession, prospective teachers should be asked to talk with a group of friendly students for at least half an hour and be able to engage them in an interesting conversation about any subject the prospective teacher wants to talk about.
