Results from Poor Man's College:

Jails and prisons are the complement of schools; so many less as you have of the latter, so many more must you have of the former.: Horace Mann (1796 - 1859)
Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in. That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
I wonder whether if I had an education I should have been more or less a fool that I am.: Alice James
Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible.: Robert M. Hutchins
No use to shout at them to pay attention. If the situations, the materials, the problems before the child do not interest him, his attention will slip off to what does interest him, and no amount of exhortation of threats will bring it back.: John Holt
Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.: Sir William Haley
The chief reason for going to school is to get the impression fixed for life that there is a book side for everything.: Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)
It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curious of inquiry. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing. We find it easier to add a new study or course or kind of school than to recognize existing conditions so as to meet the need.: John Dewey (1859 - 1952)
The best current evidence is that media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers groceries causes change in our nutrition.: Richard Clark
