It was my assumption that skilled teachers spent their days imparting important and meaningful knowledge to eager students. I also believed, as many of you do, that I didn't remember or wasn't good at the things we learned in high school because I didn't pay close enough attention or didn't work hard enough. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
Going to school is rarely a choice at all, but rather just the thing you do because everyone else does it. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
I'm sure if Socrates were alive today, and had to sit through even a single meeting discussing how to use data to inform instruction, he'd kill himself all over again. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
The life of the sane, average man was dull, worse than death. There seemed to be no possible alternative. Education also seemed to be a trap. The little education I had allowed myself had made me more suspicious. What were doctors, lawyers, scientists? They were just men who allowed themselves to be deprived of their freedom to think and act as individuals. I went back to my shack and drank ... ~ Charles Bukowski
Alternative Education quotes by Charles Bukowski
How many of us have read history, and shook our heads and puffed our chest, and said, "If I were alive during that period, I would never have done those things to those people!" Yet here we are, doing those things to those people. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
A teenager's nature is not laziness, their preferred state is not ignorance, and it is not necessary for extrinsic motivation to be delivered by trained professionals in order to prevent them from bareknuckle boxing under a bridge in exchange for drugs and money. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
And there you sit, atop the smoking mountain of rubble that was once your home, covered in gray dust, cradling the mangled corpse of your little girl in your arms, looking south to a Mexican people who, in solidarity with you, have stopped riding Uber. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
Know what you're working toward and eliminate debt, so that if you change your mind later it doesn't kill you to know you have a hundred thousand dollar biology degree hanging in the kitchen of the tapas restaurant you just opened. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
Maybe you've noticed what I've noticed, and thought it strange, or dismissed it as youthful foolishness or that you were missing some critical piece of information that would reveal itself with age and wisdom – that is: every single teacher believes feverishly in the importance of the content of their class, and furthermore, believes that their assessment of you in their class is a direct measure of your capacity for future success, while simultaneously not having a clue as to the content of virtually any other discipline in the school. They will boldly state things like, That's math, I'm an English teacher or That's literature, I'm a biology teacher, practically admitting out loud that nothing learned in school is important (except, of course, the course they are teaching). ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
I tend to agree with Robert Frost when he says, 'Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.' By this definition, I don't think anyone can claim that we are successfully educating this next generation. ~ Brian Huskie
Alternative Education quotes by Brian Huskie
Our higher education system is controlled by what amounts to a cartel of existing colleges and universities, which use their power over the accreditation process to block innovative, low-cost competitors from entering the market. ~ Marco Rubio
Alternative Education quotes by Marco Rubio
Life is not a holiday, but an education. And the most important lesson we can learn is how to love. How to love better. ~ Paulo Coelho
Alternative Education quotes by Paulo Coelho
Niima: center of the galaxy, repository of manifold cultures, offering to its myriad inhabitants a never-ending succession of entertainment, education, and enjoyable distractions. Her ~ Alan Dean Foster
Alternative Education quotes by Alan Dean Foster
In Scouting, a boy is encouraged to educate himself instead of being instructed. ~ Robert Powell
Alternative Education quotes by Robert Powell
I have a greater goal - to empower young people through music education. ~ Ruben Studdard
Alternative Education quotes by Ruben Studdard
For success, attitude is often more important than education. ~ Debasish Mridha
Alternative Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
Today, one must either be isolated and cut off, or a carefully guarded, affluent drop-out, to allow one's children to play in an environment where they listen to people rather than to stars, speakers, or instructors. All over the world, one can see the rapid encroachment of the disciplined acquiescence that characterizes the audience, the client, the customer. ~ Ivan Illich
Alternative Education quotes by Ivan Illich
If I know the classical psychological theories well enough to pass my comps and can reformulate them in ways that can impress peer reviewers from the most prestigious journals, but have not the practical wisdom of love, I am only an intrusive muzak soothing the ego while missing the heart.

And if I can read tea leaves, throw the bones and manipulate spirits so as to understand the mysteries of the universe and forecast the future with scientific precision, and if I have achieved a renaissance education in both the exoteric and esoteric sciences that would rival Faust and know the equation to convert the mass of mountains into psychic energy and back again, but have not love, I do not even exist.

If I gain freedom from all my attachments and maintain constant alpha waves in my consciousness, showing perfect equanimity in all situations, ignoring every personal need and compulsively martyring myself for the glory of God, but this is not done freely from love, I have accomplished nothing.

Love is great-hearted and unselfish; love is not emotionally reactive, it does not seek to draw attention to itself. Love does not accuse or compare. It does not seek to serve itself at the expense of others. Love does not take pleasure in other peeople's sufferings, but rejoices when the truth is revealed and meaningful life restored. Love always bears reality as it is, extending mercy to all people in every situation. Love is faithful in all things, is con ~ Stephen Muse
Alternative Education quotes by Stephen Muse
One might say that the American trend of education is to reduce the senses almost to nil. ~ Isadora Duncan
Alternative Education quotes by Isadora Duncan
From the very beginning of his education, the child should experience the joy of discovery. ~ Alfred North Whitehead
Alternative Education quotes by Alfred North Whitehead
The belief in the inevitability of war is a self-fulfilling prophecy ... We need an alternative vision, to see the world as one, as interconnected. ~ Dennis Kucinich
Alternative Education quotes by Dennis Kucinich
As long as we see ourselves as rational beings who can think logically and make carefully reasoned decisions about our daily lives, then education indeed should be about the promotion of reasoned deliberation and the gaining of knowledge that will enhance our ability to reason. But suppose this conception we have of ourselves and our ability to reason logically is simply wrong? ~ Roger C. Schank
Alternative Education quotes by Roger C. Schank
When you serve the humanity with love and kindness, you find the ecstasy of life, the happiness. ~ Debasish Mridha
Alternative Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
The really useful education is that which follows the direction of the child's own instinctive interests, supplying knowledge for which it is seeking, not dry, detailed information wholly out of relation to its spontaneous desires. ~ Bertrand Russell
Alternative Education quotes by Bertrand Russell
Test-oriented teaching strikes me as anti-educational, a kind of unpleasant game that subverts the real aim of education: to waken a student to her or his potential, and to pursue a subject of considerable importance without restrictions imposed by anything except the inherent demands of the material. ~ Jay Parini
Alternative Education quotes by Jay Parini
The objective of false prophets and teachers of whatever stripe is ... the influence and control of the minds of men. ~ Ron Dart
Alternative Education quotes by Ron Dart
Always have passion on what you do for your entire life. This would characteristic would help you to overcome very difficult situations. ~ Saaif Alam
Alternative Education quotes by Saaif Alam
It is individuality which is the original and eternal within man; personality doesn't matter so much. To pursue the education anddevelopment of this individuality as one's highest vocation would be a divine egoism. ~ Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Alternative Education quotes by Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Education is not the taming or domestication of the soul's raw passions - not suppressing them or excising them, which would deprive the soul of its energy - but forming and informing them as art ... ~ Allan Bloom
Alternative Education quotes by Allan Bloom
She gives just enough hints about him to make you wonder why he became so villainous. And if he dies, I'll never learnt the answer."
Oliver eyes her closely. "Perhaps he was born villainous."
"No one is born villainous."
"Oh?" he said with raised eyebrow. "So we're all born good?"
"Neither. We start as animals, with an animal's needs and desires. It takes parents and teachers and other good examples to show us how to restrain those needs and desires, when necessary, for the greater good. But it's still our choice whether to heed that education or to do as we please."
"For a woman who loves murder and mayhem, you're quite the philosopher."
"I like to understand how things work. Why people behave as they do."
He digested that for a moment. "I happen to think that some of us, like Rockton, are born with a wicked bent."
She chose her words carefully. "That certainly provides Rockton with a convenient excuse for his behavior."
His features turned stony. "What do you mean?"
"Being moral and disciplined is hard work. Being wicked requires no effort at all-one merely indulges every desire and impulse, no matter how hurtful or immoral. By claiming to be born wicked, Rockton ensures that he doesn't have to struggle to be god. He can just protest that he can't help himself."
"Perhaps he can't," he clipped out.
"Or maybe he's simply unwilling to fight his impulses. And I want to know the reason for that. That's why I keep readin ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Alternative Education quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
Of the things I had not known when I started out, I think the most important was the degree to which the legacy of the McCarthy period still lived. It had been almost seven years since Joe McCarthy had been censured when John Kennedy took office, and most people believed that his hold on Washington was over. ... among the top Democrats, against whom the issue of being soft on Communism might be used, and among the Republicans, who might well use the charge, it was still live ammunition. ...

McCarthyism still lingered ... The real McCarthyism went deeper in the American grain than most people wanted to admit ... The Republicans' long, arid period out of office [twenty years, ended by the Eisenhower administration], accentuated by Truman's 1948 defeat of Dewey, had permitted the out-party in its desperation, to accuse the leaders of the governing party of treason. The Democrats, in the wake of the relentless sustained attacks on Truman and Acheson over their policies in Asia, came to believe that they had lost the White House when they lost China. Long after McCarthy himself was gone, the fear of being accused of being soft on Communism lingered among the Democratic leaders. The Republicans had, of course, offered no alternative policy on China (the last thing they had wanted to do was suggest sending American boys to fight for China) and indeed there was no policy to offer, for China was never ours, events there were well outside our control, and our feudal proxies ~ David Halberstam
Alternative Education quotes by David Halberstam
Love everyone like a flower loves the world. ~ Debasish Mridha
Alternative Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
Let us create the tsunami of love to flatten the world with joy. ~ Debasish Mridha
Alternative Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
There have been studies that clearly state that children who are exposed to arts education at a young age will in fact do markedly better in their SAT tests. ~ Marvin Hamlisch
Alternative Education quotes by Marvin Hamlisch
Life is not a bootcamp for heaven,
but life is a heaven for spiritual procession. ~ Debasish Mridha
Alternative Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
Have you ever noticed how statists are constantly "reforming" their own handiwork? Education reform. Health-care reform. Welfare reform. Tax reform. The very fact they're always busy "reforming" is an implicit admission that they didn't get it right the first 50 times. ~ Lawrence W. Reed
Alternative Education quotes by Lawrence W. Reed
Our common stock of words embodies all the distinctions men have found worth drawing, and the connexions they have found worth marketing, in the lifetimes of many generation; these surely are likely to be more numerous, more sound, since they have stood up to the long test of thee survival of the fittest, and more subtle, at least in all ordinary and reasonably practical matters, than any that you or I are likely to think up in our arm-chairs of an afternoon-the most favoured alternative method. ~ J.L. Austin
Alternative Education quotes by J.L. Austin
What we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so. We form no guess, at the time of receiving a thought, of its comparative value. And education often wastes its effort in attempts to thwart and balk this natural magnetism, which is sure to select what belongs to it. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Alternative Education quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Education for all seems to be the product of a type of distributive justice that is in no way related to the individual. ~ Abdoulaye Wade
Alternative Education quotes by Abdoulaye Wade
Samantha: Listen, you need to get your head around the demographics of this place. So first of all you've got your blue collars - tradies, we call them. We've got a lot of tradies in Pirriwee. Like my Stu. Salt of the earth. Or salt of the sea, because they all surf, of course. Most of the tradies grew up here and never left. Then you've got your alternative types. Your dippy hippies. And in the last ten years or so, all these wealthy execs and banker wankers have moved in and built massive McMansions up on the cliffs. But! There's only one primary school for all our kids! So at school events you've got a plumber, a banker and a crystal healer standing around trying to make conversation. It's hilarious. No wonder we had a riot. ~ Liane Moriarty
Alternative Education quotes by Liane Moriarty
Care about understanding and before you know it, in just a few decades, you'll have a system of thinking that gives you answers whenever you ask. ~ Richard Bach
Alternative Education quotes by Richard Bach
I only got a seventh-grade education, but I have a doctorate in funk, and I like to put that to good use ~ James Brown
Alternative Education quotes by James Brown
Never look for a reason to be kind, just be kind to everyone. Kindness is the language of heart that everyone can understand. ~ Debasish Mridha
Alternative Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
Perhaps the most fundamental value of a liberal education is that it makes life more interesting. It allows you to think things which do not occur to the less learned ... it makes it less likely that you will be bored with life. ~ Kingman Brewster, Jr.
Alternative Education quotes by Kingman Brewster, Jr.
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Alternative Education quotes by George Bernard Shaw
He found, using fifty stones to keep track, that he could easily remember the names of all fifty states, and he knew the capitols of a lot of them. He knew his times tables all the way up to twelves, and he knew when they'd signed the Declaration of Independence and when John Glenn landed on the moon.

But he was keenly aware that he didn't know how to tell if nuts were good to eat, or what berries will make you sick, or what mushrooms were poisonous, and he slowly began to wonder why not one person had ever taught him anything useful. ~ Michael Montoure
Alternative Education quotes by Michael Montoure
College students today are drowning in debt, and it is hurting them and hurting our economy. We must find a way to help families pay for college without condemning them to a lifetime of indebtedness. ~ Elizabeth Warren
