“Kids that are allegedly better students are in an elitist class in first and second grade and then they go to their high schools, they go to their universities and the normal dumb shits like me are down at the bottom. These people go to elitist schools and they replicate their elitist thoughts in the corporations.” PeopleKidsSchoolStudentsHigh SchoolBottomDumbElitist Author:Paul Orfalea
“If I reformed school, I would do two things: We can improve a child's IQ by three percent by teaching them a foreign language by seven-years-old. We shouldn't be waiting until high school when they are neurologically not ready to learn it. Second, we emphasize reading too young.” SchoolReadingLanguageWaitingTeachingHigh SchoolNot ReadyForeign Language Author:Paul Orfalea
“Boys do not have the language skills of little girls. Boys go to school feeling like idiots. We wonder why fifty-six percent of the enrollment at universities is female. I might consider having same-sex education. Boys from day one are pampered and feel good about themselves and then when they go to school, they feel like idiots. I would have exercise in the morning at eight. They clearly learn better after they open up their brain. Why can't we accommodate the brain and not the school?” FeelingsSchoolGirlLanguageBrainWonderBoysMorningExerciseFemaleFeel GoodIdiot Author:Paul Orfalea
