Schools resemble the culture of prisons.
Henry Giroux
Image
Schools of science and physics replacing each other at a faster and faster rate. Just the nature of our world is constant revision, constant...negation of previous beliefs, and so...the whole world is a twist ending. Every week is a twist ending.
Chuck Palahniuk
Image
Schools should look behind classroom doors and determine the factors that contribute to the kinds of interactions between teachers and students that promote student achievement.
James Heckman
Image
Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.
John Kricfalusi
Image
Schools have not necessarily much to do with education...they are mainly institutions of control where certain basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school.
Winston Churchill
Image
Schools are not exam factories for the rat race.
Johann Lamont
Image
Schools used to fund-raise for luxuries, like a trip to the water slides. Now, we fund-raise for things we have to have.
Kirk Gibson
Image
Schools have never been about getting access to information. That's the job of libraries. Schools and universities have nobler missions as gentle gatekeepers. Their role is to control ideas on the loose and to present the best and noblest ideas to the young.
Andrew Nikiforuk
Image
Schools often get the teachers they deserve!
Andy Hargreaves
Image
Schools cannot shut their gates and leave the outside world on the doorstep.
Andy Hargreaves
Image
Schools need not preach political doctrine to defend democracy. If they shape men capable of critical thought and trained in social attitudes, that is all that is necessary.
Albert Einstein
Image
Schools are not about enabling children to have a living but about children being able to have a life.
Elliot W. Eisner
Image
Schools must inquire deeper into their own practices, explore new ways to motivate their learners, make use of learning styles, introduce multiple intelligences, integrate learning, and teach thinking, and in the process discover the passion and moral purpose that makes teaching exciting and effective.
Michael Fullan
Image
Schools ought to teach students to challenge secular ideologies masquerading as science in the classroom.
Nancy Pearcey
Image
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
Image
Schools [are]...institutions monopolizing the daytimes of childhood.
John Taylor Gatto
Image
Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's part of any endeavour, not just writing.
Roddy Doyle
Image
Schools in the future will be judged less because of the credentials that they bestow, and more because of the experiences that they offer.
Roger Schank
Image
Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world, but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence, with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one's share in the world's work, and perhaps in addition, lend a hand in improving society, after schooling is done.
Jacques Barzun
Image
Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order
John Dewey
Image
Schools that cannot tolerate interesting & enthusiastic eccentrics who work better alone than together are devoid of flexibility & spirit
Andy Hargreaves
Image
Schools and colleges are really a factory for turning out clerks for the Government.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Schools are compulsory for about ten years of a person's life. They are, perhaps, the only compulsory institutions for all citizens, although those with full membership in schools are not yet treated as full citizens of our society.
