I think the most important thing that young people should be taught at school is how they can decide what they're being told is true.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it's important to give young people the freedom to follow their ideas and pursue their interests.
The most important thing I think teachers can do for young people is to make them inquiring, is to ensure that they know how to gather information, that they check information and they take their information from a multiplicity of sources.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Almost everyone who has claimed to know what kids need to learn or how they learn has turned out to be wrong.
One of the things that is very silly - and I hear from educators all the time - is that schools essentially teach kids to learn. They don't need school for that. Learning is what they do best.
I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.
I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do.
We teach teens what we think they ought to know, and we never tell them what they want to know.
It is probable that there is no one thing that it is of eminent importance for a child to learn.
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
