Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. Dave Barry arkeducationtrying Passing the SAT: My personal theory is that it has to do with how much money you send them in the mail. I think the amounts they tell you to send are actually just suggested minimum donations - if you get my drift. Dave Barry maileducationthinking If the only tool you have is a hammer, it's hard to eat spaghetti. David Allen innovationperspectiveeducation Financial education needs to become a part of our national curriculum and scoring systems so that it's not just the rich kids that learn about money.. it's all of us. David Bach moneyeducationsuccess Recent decades clearly demonstrate that the more secular our Public Schools become the less successful they become academically. David Barton successfuleducationschool The calculus is the story this [the Western] world first told itself as it became the modern world. David Berlinski storieseducationfirsts The definition of a limit is essentially his [Cauchy's] creation and is as much of a miracle as those fantastic Swiss clocks of the period in which hundreds of gleaming cogs are made to celebrate not only the time and date but the phases of the moon. David Berlinski miraclemooneducation The communications revolution has given millions of people both a wider and more detailed understanding of the world. Because of technology, ordinary citizens enjoy access to information that formerly was available only to elites and nation-states. One consequence of this change is that citizens have become acutely conscious of environmental destruction, entrenched poverty, health catastrophes, human rights abuses, failing education systems, and escalating violence. Another consequence is that people possess powerful communication tools to coordinate efforts to attack those problems. David Bornstein communicationpowerfuleducation The zooming wealth of the top 1 percent is a problem, but it's not nearly as big a problem as the tens of millions of Americans who have dropped out of high school or college. It's not nearly as big a problem as the 40 percent of children who are born out of wedlock. It's not nearly as big a problem as the nation's stagnant human capital, its stagnant social mobility and the disorganized social fabric for the bottom 50 percent. David Brooks educationchildrenschool Infants and young children are not just sitting twiddling their thumbs, waiting for their parents to teach them to read and do math.

David Eugene Smith educationmathdiscovery What, after all, is mathematics but the poetry of the mind, and what is poetry but the mathematics of the heart? David Eugene Smith educationmathheart So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past. David Elkind educationchildrenpast If learning to read was as easy as learning to talk, as some writers claim, many more children would learn to read on their own. The fact that they do not, despite their being surrounded by print, suggests that learning to read is not a spontaneous or simple skill. David Elkind simpleeducationchildren Directing ain't about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn't want to go to film school. I didn't know what the point was.

David Hockney educationbrainpeople Books fall open, you fall in, delighted where you've never been; hear voices not once heard before, reach world on world through door on door; find unexpected keys to things locked up beyond imaginings. What might you be, perhaps become, because one book is somewhere? Some wise delver into wisdom, wit, and wherewithal has written it. True books will venture, dare you out, whisper secrets, maybe shout across the gloom to you in need, who hanker for a book to read. David McCord wiseeducationbook«3233343536373839404142»
