Students Quotes

Just as experience dictates to the ballet teacher the length of time necessary to train his students, so the horse, too, needs time to mature into a great four legged dancer. This fact cannot be obliterated by seeming successes that supposedly prove the opposite. For, even if someone should succeed in training a horse to high school level by the age of eight, this individual occurrence cannot shake the foundations of the classical art of riding, if this dressage horse is completely unsound and unusable by the age of ten Picture Quote #1

In outstanding classrooms, teachers do more listening than talking, and students do more talking than listening. Terrific teachers often have teeth marks on their tongues Picture Quote #1

Efforts to develop critical thinking falter in practice because too many professors still lecture to passive audiences instead of challenging students to apply what they have learned to new questions Picture Quote #1

A true teacher does not terrorize ignorant students, because a true teacher knows that it is his job to cure ignorance Picture Quote #1

How can we expect our students to become bold and fearless in thought and action if we encase them in sentimental shrines feigning a culture which has long since disappeared? Picture Quote #1

I was the one of those students who made the top half of the class possible Picture Quote #1

I would love to travel around the world working for a travel company taking students abroad on cultural immersion trips Picture Quote #1

Film students should stay as far away from film schools and film teachers as possible. The only school for the cinema is the cinema Picture Quote #1

Students now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired by it or seriously critical of it Picture Quote #1

If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow Picture Quote #1

Education is really aimed at helping students get to the point where they can learn on their own Picture Quote #1

In my day, the principal concerns of university students were sex, smoking dope, rioting and learning. Learning was something you did only when the first three weren’t available Picture Quote #1

As soon as one identifies, challenges and overcomes illegitimate power, he or she is an anarchist. Most people are anarchists. What they call themselves doesn’t matter to me. The world is full of suffering, distress, violence and catastrophes. Students must decide: does something concern you or not? I say: look around, analyze the problems, ask yourself what you can do and set out on the work! Picture Quote #1

When people talk to me about the digital divide, I think of it not so much about who has access to what technology as about who knows how to create and express themselves in the new language of the screen. If students aren’t taught the language of sound and images, shouldn’t they be considered as illiterate as if they left college without being able to read and write? Picture Quote #1

Here, class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes, which they are tested on. What is missing, it seems to me, is the use of knowledge, the practical training Picture Quote #1

You can do and use the skills that you have. The schools need you. The teachers need you. Students and parents need you. They need your actual person: your physical personhood and your open minds and open ears and boundless compassion, sitting next to them, listening and nodding and asking questions for hours at a time Picture Quote #1

It can be summed up in one sentence. Does this person have something to teach my students? No one has ever let us down Picture Quote #1

By giving our students practice in talking with others, we give them frames for thinking on their own Picture Quote #1

More students have a better knowledge of pop culture than of the Constitution Picture Quote #1

Because of the flexibility that community colleges afford, many students do not have to choose between an education and fulfilling other responsibilities - they can do both Picture Quote #1

I almost never do free writing. Unless I am forcing my students to do it Picture Quote #1

Students don’t know who Mark Twain was because he wasn’t on the test Picture Quote #1

The awkward moment when teachers call it cheating but students call it teamwork Picture Quote #1

For some students, especially in the sciences, the knowledge gained in college may be directly relevant to graduate study. For almost all students, a liberal arts education works in subtle ways to create a web of knowledge that will illumine problems and enlighten judgment on innumerable occasions in later life Picture Quote #1

During my eleven years as a New York City public school teacher, I saw firsthand the impact that poverty has on the classroom. In low-income neighborhoods like Sunset Park, where I taught, students as young as five years old enter school affected by the stresses often created by poverty: domestic violence, drug abuse, gang activity Picture Quote #1

Research shows that children do better in school and are less likely to drop out when fathers are involved. Engaged parents can strengthen communities, mentor and tutor students, and demonstrate through their actions how much they value their children’s education Picture Quote #1

I have taught some master classes and things at my alma mater and sometimes at my kids’ school. I will go in and talk to the theater students. I wouldn’t really call myself a teacher Picture Quote #1
