The next generation of innovators, who need neutrality the most, are not at the bargaining table. They're hard at work in their labs or classrooms, dreaming of the next big thing, and hoping that the Internet is as open to them as it was to the founders of Google.
The best learning happens in real life with real problems and real people and not in classrooms.
Creating a high-functioning education system requires all the strategies involved in building high-functioning organisations anywhere. It requires a deliberate and aggressive strategy to ensure extraordinary talent at every level of the system, from the superintendentcy to district offices to principalships to classrooms. It requires building systems for accountability; offering parents the ability to choose their public schools is the ultimate form of this. It requires building a strong culture at the system and school levels based on high expectations for student achievement.

If we know why we are learning and if the reason fits our needs as we perceive them, we will learn quickly and deeply.
The most important emotion in classrooms is surprise.
Rarely do outside of school remedies work their way into the fabric of the schools or into the teachers lives, and more rarely into the classrooms. Therefore they only offer a modest hope of influencing the basic culture of the school
God, the source of all knowledge, should never have been expelled from our children's classrooms.

We owe it to our children to equip them with all the capabilities they'll need to thrive in the limitless world beyond the classrooms.
Where do find the most persecuted Christians in the world?. . . in the classrooms of our government schools, where the assault is not upon the body, but the soul.
Classrooms keep getting set up more and more around the verbal and less around the kinesthetic and active. They are increasingly becoming environments that favour the girls' brain.
Hoping to instill my love of learning in other children, I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, 'Flying Fingers,' debuted; since then, I have spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world.
