We teach teens what we think they ought to know, and we never tell them what they want to know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Teenagers are a great audience and they are fearless about asking what they want to know.
In youth we learn; in age we understand.
A kid never listens to what his parents tell him to do. The parents actually act as an example of what their kids themselves do.
Parents have become so convinced that educators know what is best for their children that they forget that they themselves are really the experts.
We don't teach kids how to feel, we don't give them the words to go by.
I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do.
Almost everyone who has claimed to know what kids need to learn or how they learn has turned out to be wrong.
Teenagers come to things fresh and can really teach us an awful lot.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
