I realized if you can change a classroom, you can change a community, and if you change enough communities you can change the world.

Through art and science in their broadest senses it is possible to make a permanent contribution towards the improvement and enrichment of human life and it is these pursuits that we students are engaged in.

Today in America, we are trying to prepare students for a high tech world of constant change, but we are doing so by putting them through a school system designed in the early 20th Century that has not seen substantial change in 30 years.

We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.

The world today is changing rapidly, and we are helping to make it better for our children's future.

I believe that all students, when asked to be accountable for their actions and to be socially aware citizens, will become agents for change!

My goal is to connect the young teachers to the old, to reignite their sense of struggle.

We need innovation in education and dedication to the task before us.

Students need to learn how to think critically, how to argue opposing ideas. It is important for them to learn how to think. You can always cook.

I try to tell a lot of stories to make my students aware that the world is a very cool place with many problems that need solving, and that they all can help solve them.
