To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.

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

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.

We learn... 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both hear and see 70% of what is discussed 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we teach to someone else

Effective teaching may be the hardest job there is.

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.

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

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

Image
There is no real reason to fail a child, Once children start failing, they begin to believe that they can't do anything. They give up.
