I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do.

People learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what they learned the day before was wrong.

I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.

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.

They taught me different was wrong.

The worst mistake you can make with children is to talk to them in a condescending, patronising way and think that you can teach them something. You have to understand that it is you who will be learning from them. You have to get into their world and see things from their perspective.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.

Parents have become so convinced that educators know what is best for their children that they forget that they themselves are really the experts.

It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know.

I think children learn from example. I don't believe in raising them in an authoritative atmosphere.
