Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.

What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.

You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.

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

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

Everybody needs one essential friend.

When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
