“Teaching is in some ways a position of power, but in other ways, it’s an incredibly vulnerable position.” Roxanna Elden in “Response: Ways to Have Students Evaluate Classes” by Larry

“The superintendents I’ve met are pretty evenly split among those ‘doing obsolete things better’ and those striving to ‘do better things.’ Honestly, if a superintendent views his or her role as holding principals’ feet to the fire to boost test scores, I don’t hold out hope for real improvement.” Ted Dintersmith in “A Venture Capitalist’s Understanding of Public Schooling and Where It’s Succeeding,” an interview with Juli Valentine in School Administrator, May 2019 (Vol. 76, #5, p. 26-30), https://bit.ly/2VINUAn
“When students draw something, they process it in three different ways, in effect learning it three times over.” Youki Terada
“It’s not uncommon for students to graduate from high school believing that every math problem can be solved in 30 seconds or less. And if they don’t know the answer, they’re just not a math person. This is a failure of education.” Dan Finkel, quoted in “Why Normalizing Struggle Can Create a Better Math Experience for Kids” by Ki Sung in MindShift, May 1, 2019
