Education Is Life

Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself. -- John Dewey

The Power of Education

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the World." - - Nelson Mandela

The Function of Education

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reading Opens The Whole World

“The whole world opened to me when I learned to read.” --Mary McLeod Bethune ***

Open A School Door

“He who opens a school door, closes a prison.” --Victor Hugo

Democracy

The thing about democracy, beloveds, is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet. It requires a certain relish for confusion.
Molly Ivins

Never Be Afraid

“Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority.”

William Jennings Bryan

Freedom Is An Educated Mind

"If Americans desire to be both ignorant and free, they want what never has been and what will never be."
~Thomas Jefferson

A Teacher's Creed

"In the classroom on the first day of a new school year, I am eager to meet my students. I have rehearsed my greeting and first day’s remarks, but no matter how many years I’ve prepared for this procedure, it’s always new. My heart pumps a bit harder, faster; I feel adrenaline like an athlete, or like an actor, or maybe like a novice public speaker. It’s a marvelous feeling, this first day, because I know that something special is going to happen, and I know it because I’ve experienced it before and I know that I will experience it every time I meet a new class throughout my venerable career. And then they’re seated before me and I smile at this special feeling. This is an assembly of students, yes. But there’s so much more, because each of these young persons is more than just a student entrusted to me. Each of these students has a story to tell, a lifetime, however brief, of experiences, a history in volumes whose richness and depth I can barely begin to fathom. And so as I absorb the first glimpse of these young charges, I must appreciate the extent of my responsibility, of the privilege I’ve accepted in presenting these young souls my special knowledge. In offering them my talent and passion, I am adding an enormous array of new bright stars to the vast firmament of their minds, stars that will never have time to fade in their lifetimes. I will be part of their story. And I know that each of them will always be part of mine. And that’s a good feeling, a feeling that is perpetually renewed, revisited, and rewritten in A Teacher’s Creed."
