What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.

We need to have an educational system that's able to embrace all sorts of minds, and where a student doesn't have to fit into a certain mold of learning.

If we talk about literacy, we have to talk about how to enhance our children's mastery over the tools needed to live intelligent, creative, and involved lives.

I wish the children could be taught early on that our thinking creates our experience.

Education in the light of present-day knowledge and need calls for some spirited and creative innovations both in the substance and the purpose of current pedagogy.

By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.

Certainly we want to protect our children from new and painful experiences that are beyond their emotional comprehension and that intensify anxiety; and to a point we can prevent premature exposure to such experiences.

I believe that if we want our children to understand the world beyond their classroom, we must bring the world into their classroom.

Education must be aimed at creating a wider imagination in the child, not at suppressing. The child's mind must be set free.

Kids are born curious about the world. What adults primarily do in the presence of kids is unwittingly thwart the curiosity of children.
