The Day We Stop Playing Will Be

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.

To Counter The Avoidance Of Intellectual Challenge And Responsibility, We Must Reduce The Domination Of Certainty In Education.

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.

We Can Pay Teachers A Hundred Thousand Dollars A Year, And We'll Do Nothing To Improve Our Schools As Long As We Keep The A, B, C, D, F Grading System.

The More A Person Perceives That He/she Is Loved, The Less They Will Interfere With The Lives Of Others.
