What Students Lack In School

Running A School Where The Students All Succeed, Even If Some Students Have To Help Others To Make The Grade, Is Good Preparation For Democracy.

Today Much Of What We Call Education Is Merely Knowledge Gathering And Remembering. Problem Solving And Thinking, Never Strong Parts Of Our Educational System, Have Been Downgraded In All But A Few Scientific Subjects.

If You Want To Change Attitudes, Start With A Change In Behavior. In Other Words, Begin To Act The Part, As Well As You Can, Of The Person You Would Rather Be, The Person You Most Want To Become. Gradually, The Old, Fearful Person Will Fade Away.

What Students Lack In School Is An Intellectual Relationship Or Conversation With The Teacher.

We May Be Up Against A Stone Wall, But We Don't Have To Bloody Our Heads Against It Unless We Choose To.
