I believe that if we want our children to understand the world beyond their classroom, we must bring the world into their classroom.
Interpretation
Bringing real-world experiences into the classroom enhances children's understanding of the world.
Queen Rania of Jordan emphasizes the importance of integrating real-life experiences and the broader world into education. By doing so, children can develop a deeper understanding of their environment and learn beyond traditional academic boundaries. This approach encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and engagement with the world around them, making learning more relevant and impactful.
In practice
A teacher might use this quote to inspire colleagues during a professional development seminar.
Now and always, hard-line policy and those who embrace it are vessels for darker forces that are at once self-cannibalizing and combustible. No good can come of them. They are unsustainable because their sense of righteousness denies human worth.
If you educate a boy, you educate a person, but if you educate a girl, you educate a family and benefit an entire community.β An entire community - now that is really interesting! Then I found the quote changed a little more on the Kingdom of Jordan website by her Royal Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Queen Rania relates the quote in these words: βAs you educate a woman, you educate the family. If you educate the girls, you educate the future.
I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people's lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch.
I don't think people by nature are extremists. You will never find a population of extremists. Extremists have existed throughout the centuries on all religions. And what happens is, extremists start to have more leverage when the situation is bad.
Being popular comes when you have everything. But to be liked, it means that you must be treating people with respect and you must be showing kindness toward them.
Everybody's social life in Jordan revolves around family.
For it is humanly certain that most of us remember very little of what we have read. To open almost any book a second time is to be reminded that we had forgotten well-nigh everything that the writer told us. Parting from the narrator and his narrative, we retain only a fading impression; and he, as it were, takes the book away from us and tucks it under his arm.
Some are bewildered in the maze of schools, And some made coxcombs nature meant but fools.
In order to learn, one must change one's mind.
To this generation I would say: Memorize some bit of verse of truth or beauty.
When asked, "How do you write?" I invariably answer, "One word at a time," and the answer is invariably dismissed. But that is all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope.
True education is awakening a love for truth...opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of life.
