School is a twelve-year jail sentence where bad habits are the only curriculum truly learned.
He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.
I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. A school curriculum that values questions above answers...creativity above fact regurgitation...individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance..... And we must reject all notions of 'reform' that serve up more of the same: more testing, more 'standards', more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy.
