It's time for the US to widen its circle of learning, not to circle its wagons against hostile ideas in education reform. ~ Andy Hargreaves
Education Reform quotes by Andy Hargreaves
There's no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom. ~ Paulo Freire
Education Reform quotes by Paulo Freire
education without inspiration is only a recipe for desperation ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Education Reform quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Texas is a national leader in education reform and student achievement. Through our college- and career-ready standards and assessments, strong school accountability, and a focus on educator development, we have created an education system that prepares our students for success after graduation. ~ Rick Perry
Education Reform quotes by Rick Perry
Dear teachers, please make reading and writing fun. Reading and writing shouldn't be a punishment while in school. I ask you to create and teach two electives: "Reading for Pleasure" and "Writing for Pleasure". ~ Gloria D. Gonsalves
Education Reform quotes by Gloria D. Gonsalves
I went to Washington several times at the request of different parties to talk about education reform. I used to always say I felt like I needed to take a shower after I left, because it was so partisan that I just really hated it. ~ Paul Sadler
Education Reform quotes by Paul Sadler
Education reform doesn't come cheap. But the price of ignorance is far, far greater ~ Rania Al-Abdullah
Education Reform quotes by Rania Al-Abdullah
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
Education Reform quotes by Lawrence W. Reed
But if we get education right... it would acknowledge that the path to true learning begins nowhere else but in delight, and the words on the signpost say: "Once upon a time … - Isis lecture, 2003 ~ Philip Pullman
Education Reform quotes by Philip Pullman
You are yet to catch up with the real world if you've never studied any concepts outside the school syllabus or read any books beside the texts books school forced you to read. Most people are just programmed not educated ~ Nicky Verd
Education Reform quotes by Nicky Verd
Formal education teaches how to stand, but to see the rainbow you must come out and walk many steps on your own. ~ Amit Ray
Education Reform quotes by Amit Ray
The universities are an absolute wreck right now, because for decades, any graduate student in the humanities who had independent thinking was driven out. There was no way to survive without memorizing all these stupid bromides with this referential bowing to these over-inflated figures like Lacan, Derrida, Foucault, and so on. Basically, it's been a tyranny in the humanities, because the professors who are now my age – who are the baby boomer professors, who made their careers on the back of Foucault and so on – are determined that that survive. So you have a kind of vampirism going on.

So I've been getting letters for 25 years since Sexual Personae was released in 1990, from refugees from the graduate schools. It's been a terrible loss. One of my favorite letters was early on: a woman wrote to me, she was painting houses in St. Louis, she said that she had wanted a career as a literature professor and had gone into the graduate program in comparative literature at Berkeley. And finally, she was forced to drop out because, she said, every time she would express enthusiasm for a work they were studying in the seminar, everyone would look at her as if she had in some way created a terrible error of taste. I thought, 'Oh my God', see that's what's been going on – a pretentious style of superiority to the text.

[When asked what can change this]: Rebellion! Rebellion by the grad students. This is what I'm trying to foment. We absolutely need someone to stand ~ Camille Paglia
Education Reform quotes by Camille Paglia
The emotional transformation of engineering education isn't magical thinking. Nor is it a vague abstraction or a series of touchy-feely practices. It is based on a philosophy of education that is grounded in the real world and in the lives of the students we serve. It's available to everyone. It isn't expensive. It can't be accomplished in the old paradigm under the old assumptions about how education change happens, but in the right atmosphere, the change flows organically from the students themselves. That atmosphere requires systematic language change, culture change, and personal change by students, faculty, and all the stakeholders in education. ~ David Edward Goldberg
Education Reform quotes by David Edward Goldberg
Too many of our children cannot read. Reading is the building block, and it must be the foundation for education reform. ~ George W. Bush
Education Reform quotes by George W. Bush
In the twenty-first century, we use a nineteenth-century school model with twentieth-century values. There's clearly something wrong with this picture. ~ Zander Sherman
Education Reform quotes by Zander Sherman
Change flows organically from the students themselves. ~ David Edward Goldberg
Education Reform quotes by David Edward Goldberg
President Obama and Secretary Duncan have made stronger teacher evaluation a key part of their education reform efforts. Under their signature plan, called 'Race to the Top,' states can win federal support for schools by improving teacher evaluations. ~ Juan Williams
Education Reform quotes by Juan Williams
The economy is the start and end of everything. You can't have successful education reform or any other reform if you don't have a strong economy. ~ David Cameron
Education Reform quotes by David Cameron
Not everyone in school is learning. Not everyone learning is in school ~ Saji Ijiyemi
Education Reform quotes by Saji Ijiyemi
Every subject is much easier than the people who wish to make money teaching it would have you know. So, for every single subject that can be systematized, there is a systematization that allows you to get 80% percent of the power with probably 5 or 10% of the effort. So the key question is that you have to prove that you have the superpower to rearrange the subject, to disintermediate the people who get paid for teaching it – which will always push you towards mastery, which is a question of getting the last 2 or 3% out of the system. And so the good news is that you can rearrange any subject to learn most of it very, very quickly. The bad news is that it will feel terrible because you will be told that you are doing the wrong thing and dooming yourself to a life of mediocrity as a jack of many trades, master of none – but in fact, the problem is that the jack of one trade is the connector of none. Good luck! ~ Eric R. Weinstein
Education Reform quotes by Eric R. Weinstein
A substandard education will always result in a substandard nation. ~ Aubrey Priest
Education Reform quotes by Aubrey Priest
In the long run, we need to build a leadership force of people. We have a whole strategy around not only providing folks with the foundational experience during their two years with us, but also then accelerating their leadership in ways that is strategic for the broader education reform movement. ~ Wendy Kopp
Education Reform quotes by Wendy Kopp
[Olin] formed a culture of student ownership and engagement…students are not consumers but rather are partners in their education. ~ David Edward Goldberg
Education Reform quotes by David Edward Goldberg
Like taking a breath, learning was the simple and extraordinary result of being alive. ~ Zander Sherman
Education Reform quotes by Zander Sherman
The world needs the kind of education by means of which character is formed, strength of the mind is increased and the human intellect is expanded beyond its own limits. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Education Reform quotes by Abhijit Naskar
That is in part because the very words "education reform" indicate that the question is "What's wrong with our schools?" when in reality, the question might be better phrased as "Why do American kids know less than kids from Estonia and Poland?" When you ask the question differently, you look for answers in different places. ~ Steven D. Levitt
Education Reform quotes by Steven D. Levitt
There is an analogy between conservation and education reform. The coalition around education reform is the biggest bipartisan thing going in this state right now. We need to recapture the big bipartisan spirit for conservation. ~ Rob McKenna
Education Reform quotes by Rob McKenna
Let's put our money where our mouth is; let's invest in the future by investing in the education of our youth and the re-education of those who need it and aren't so young anymore. It's not charity; it's an investment in the mental, intellectual, and social infrastructure of our country and our planet. Charity is something you give to corporations when they commit crimes of fraud and plunge the world into economic turmoil. ~ Steve Bivans
Education Reform quotes by Steve Bivans
By educating the young, we are building a liberating potential force indirectly. ~ Auliq Ice
Education Reform quotes by Auliq Ice
I thought if anyone need a leg up, it was our foster children. So, I started getting involved in education reform, and that was back in 1998. And as a result of all the reform work that I had done, people urged me to run for the Minnesota state Senate. I did, I was there for six years. ~ Michele Bachmann
Education Reform quotes by Michele Bachmann
Over recent years, [there's been] a strong tendency to require assessment of children and teachers so that [teachers] have to teach to tests and the test determines what happens to the child, and what happens to the teacher...that's guaranteed to destroy any meaningful educational process: it means the teacher cannot be creative, imaginative, pay attention to individual students' needs, that a student can't pursue things [...] and the teacher's future depends on it as well as the students'...the people who are sitting in the offices, the bureaucrats designing this - they're not evil people, but they're working within a system of ideology and doctrines, which turns what they're doing into something extremely harmful [...] the assessment itself is completely artificial; it's not ranking teachers in accordance with their ability to help develop children who reach their potential, explore their creative interests and so on [...] you're getting some kind of a 'rank,' but it's a 'rank' that's mostly meaningless, and the very ranking itself is harmful. It's turning us into individuals who devote our lives to achieving a rank, not into doing things that are valuable and important.

It's highly destructive...in, say, elementary education, you're training kids this way [...] I can see it with my own children: when my own kids were in elementary school (at what's called a good school, a good-quality suburban school), by the time they were in third grade, they were dividing up ~ Noam Chomsky
Education Reform quotes by Noam Chomsky
America needs education reform on all levels to expand quality schools, build on past successes, and lower college debt. ~ Kevin McCarthy
Education Reform quotes by Kevin McCarthy
Education reform has as its main purpose to make sure that the education delivered is of quality. ~ Enrique Pena Nieto
Education Reform quotes by Enrique Pena Nieto
The promise of education reform can never be fulfilled without adequate funding, and by shortchanging our schools, President Bush is breaking his promise to our children. ~ Joe Lieberman
Education Reform quotes by Joe Lieberman
I'm not only a lawyer, I have a post doctorate degree in federal tax law from William and Mary. I work in serious scholarship and work in the United States federal tax court. My husband and I raised five kids. We've raised 23 foster children. We've applied ourselves to education reform. We started a charter school for at-risk kids. ~ Michele Bachmann
Education Reform quotes by Michele Bachmann
Education means breaking free. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Education Reform quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Those outside of autism need to understand this is an epidemic and we need more government funding, insurance coverage and education reform. ~ Jenny McCarthy
Education Reform quotes by Jenny McCarthy
I've been very engaged in Illinois and Chicago civic activities for a long time; mostly around building businesses and helping entrepreneurs grow companies, but also around education and education reform. ~ Bruce Rauner
Education Reform quotes by Bruce Rauner
After all, there is such a thing as looking like a gentleman. There are men whose class no dirt or rags can hide, any more than they could Ulysses. I have seen such men in plenty among workmen, too; but, on the whole, the gentleman
by whom I do not mean just now the rich
have the superiority in that point. But not, please God, forever. Give us the same air, water, exercise, education, good society, and you will see whether this "haggardness," this "coarseness" (etc., for the list is too long to specify), be an accident, or a property, of the man of the people. ~ Charles Kingsley
Education Reform quotes by Charles Kingsley
True education should teach us how to think, how to see the beauty in the midst of ugliness, how to love without judging, how to find opportunity to help, and how to develop a peaceful and nonviolent society. ~ Debasish Mridha
Education Reform quotes by Debasish Mridha
Today's pain will bring tomorrow's gain. ~ Debasish Mridha
Education Reform quotes by Debasish Mridha
Academia is to knowledge what prostitution is to love; close enough on the surface but, to the nonsucker, not exactly the same thing ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Education Reform quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. ~ Herbert Spencer
Education Reform quotes by Herbert Spencer
Constructive insurgency: Is the use of legal and imaginative means of resistance to reform a system of repression. Generally through the use of a non-violent nature. ~ Clyde Lewis
Education Reform quotes by Clyde Lewis
One of the great failings of the American education system (in our view) is that young people can graduate from university without any understanding of poverty at home or abroad. ~ Nicholas D. Kristof
Education Reform quotes by Nicholas D. Kristof
Women who are interested in pursuing bachelor's and master's degrees - especially in STEM fields - benefit from starting at a community college. They offer an affordable education, with flexible schedules and degrees close to home. ~ Jill Biden
Education Reform quotes by Jill Biden
Life is a one-way journey, so don't wait for the destination, but enjoy the scenery. ~ Debasish Mridha
Education Reform quotes by Debasish Mridha
Love the person, not his position. ~ Debasish Mridha
Education Reform quotes by Debasish Mridha
'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms. ~ Dianne Feinstein
Education Reform quotes by Dianne Feinstein
MATCH your potentials with the right credentials
Education and environment can mould and modify behaviours.
God is a perfect matchmaker. Match your potentials with the
right resources and manpower to explore and exploit it.
Want to know how? ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Education Reform quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
The value of your life will not be judge by the value of your wealth or splendor, but by the value you added to others life. ~ Debasish Mridha
Education Reform quotes by Debasish Mridha
Education from the lowest to the highest form must have for its object the training of the individual so that, in seeking the fullest satisfaction of his own nature, he will harmoniously perform his function as a member of a corporate society. ~ Charles A. Beard
Education Reform quotes by Charles A. Beard
The whole apparatus of the calculus takes on an entirely different form when developed for the complex numbers. ~ Keith Devlin
Education Reform quotes by Keith Devlin
You possess a divine strength to fulfill your dream. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Education Reform quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
There's a problem when we're creating a job you can't do if you have kids," Dennis Van Roekel, former president of the National Education Association, told me. "There are a lot of us who spend too much time working. But ultimately, you need time for family, time for community, time for church." According to a union executive who has negotiated charter school contracts across the country, at many schools teachers are expected to eat lunch with their students, and have no prep period to plan lessons. At others, when a teacher calls in sick, the school will not hire a substitute, but will instead require other teachers to fill in during their prep periods. At one Chicago charter school, teachers complained that they had so little free time during the day that they could not visit the bathroom. ~ Dana Goldstein
Education Reform quotes by Dana Goldstein
At a time when the current and two former US presidents have admittedly indulged, as have politicians of all stripes from Al Gore to Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin and over 50% of the adult US population, the credibility tipping point of the War on Drugs propaganda has long been passed. All that appears to be missing is the political courage to admit failure and move on to more realistic and efficient policies. What will it take for decision makers to display the wisdom and garner the courage to end the disastrous War on Drugs and responsibly take charge of drug production and trade instead of leaving it in the hands of extremely dangerous and powerful international criminal organizations? ~ Jeffrey Dhywood
Education Reform quotes by Jeffrey Dhywood
For the first time, a whole generation had the economic & educational opportunity to turn their backs on the dead end factory jobs of their parents, who, traumatized by two world wars, had responded by creating a safety blanket of conformity. ~ Pete Townshend
Education Reform quotes by Pete Townshend
In old days men studied for the sake of self-improvement; nowadays men study in order to impress other people. ~ Confucius
Education Reform quotes by Confucius
Sen. Robert Menendez's Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2010 would try to nullify every single state and local law that fights illegal immigration. Congressman Luis Gutierrez's CIR ASAP Act with over 100 Democratic co-sponsors does the same thing. ~ Russell Pearce
Education Reform quotes by Russell Pearce
Our education system is today run by left-wing elitists who believe the US is too big, too arrogant, and must be reigned-in ... Real sad. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Education Reform quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
What first stuns the young writer emerging from college is that there is no clear-cut road for him to travel on. He must chop a path in the wilderness of his own soul, a disheartening process, lifelong and lonesome and therefore, of what use graduate work? ~ Brad Gooch
Education Reform quotes by Brad Gooch
I've said that we're going to produce real results for the American people because so many Americans feel left out and left behind, they think the economy has failed them, they think our government has failed, they can't stand the gridlock and dysfunction in our politics, and I'm determined to produce more good jobs with rising incomes, and deal with all of the concerns that families have about education, college affordability, student debt. ~ Hillary Clinton
Education Reform quotes by Hillary Clinton
The most sure, but at the same time the most difficult expedient to mend the morals of the people, is a perfect system of education. ~ Catherine The Great
Education Reform quotes by Catherine The Great
To find peace, find the love and understanding. ~ Debasish Mridha
Education Reform quotes by Debasish Mridha
And then there's the Face. Who is a nobody, a real person, who comes and takes your place at the table. They get an education, the best health care, a salary, all the nice clothes and all the same toys that you get. They get your parents whenever the Olds' team decides there's a need or an opportunity. If you go online, or turn on the TV, there they are, being you. Being better than you will ever be at being you. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you have to be careful, or you'll start to feel very strange. Is that really you? ~ Kelly Link
Education Reform quotes by Kelly Link
When all is said and done we simply must make teaching in this country an honorable profession-since it's in the classrooms of America where the battle for excellence, ultimately, will be won or lost. ~ Ernest L. Boyer
Education Reform quotes by Ernest L. Boyer
Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance. ~ Kapil Dev
Education Reform quotes by Kapil Dev
The president is eager to get to work and looks forward to working with the new Congress on policies that will make sure middle-class Americans are sharing in the economic recovery, but the president is clear that he will not let this Congress undo important protections gained
particularly in areas of health care, Wall Street reform and the environment. ~ Barack Obama
Education Reform quotes by Barack Obama
What is the matter with universities is that the students are school children, whereas it is of the very essence of university education that they should be adults. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Education Reform quotes by George Bernard Shaw
G. K. Chesterton once said that the family is a cell of resistance to oppression. Unfortunately, this was one point of Catholic theology that the communists agreed with. To undermine Polish culture, communists struck at its heart - the family. Work and school schedules were organized so that parents had minimal contact with each other and with their children. Birth control and abortion were encouraged, state-sponsored sex education was implemented in schools, and apartments were built to accommodate only small families. ~ Jason Evert
Education Reform quotes by Jason Evert
We are in the process of disabling our most distinctive achievement - our educational system - in the name of making the country more like itself. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Education Reform quotes by Marilynne Robinson
Suddenly it was obvious to Connor why they don't teach it. Once education was restructured and corporatized, they didn't want kids knowing how close they came to toppling the government. They didn't want kids to know how much power they really had. ~ Neal Shusterman
Education Reform quotes by Neal Shusterman
