“المشكلة تكمن أولا في أن تكون المدرسة مكانا يحبه التلاميذ ، ثم نسأل أنفسنا بعد ذلك : ماذا نريد أن نعلم التلاميذ ؟”

“La scuola, per prima, dovrebbe creare dei veri comunicatori, cioè dei docenti che siano in grado di trasmettere nel migliore dei modi il sapere ai loro allievi. Non basta, infatti, essere laureati in Fisica per insegnare Fisica o essere laureati in Lettere per far amare gli autori classici, occorre anche preparazione pedagogica. Sono rimasto allibito quando una studentessa di Pedagogia mi ha detto che i suoi due esami principali (Pedagogia I e Pedagogia II), sui quali avrebbero dovuto basarsi le sue conoscenze pedagogiche, consistevano nella lettura di una quindicina di libri di D'Annunzio e di Nietzsche! La libertà di insegnare è una bella cosa, ma non "insegnare a insegnare" mi pare una follia senza giustificazioni! Anche perché i danni in questo modo si perpetuano, di generazione in generazione.”

“No one then considered the privilege implied in the fact that white literature was the core curriculum and black literature was the elective. And with no people of color in the student body, it was as if we were studying an ancient civilization with no connection to our lives.”

“The thing about learning how to fight is that— some of us are not born with that desire. They say some are born fighters; but they don't usually point out that others just aren't. Some of us are forced by life to take up arms and fight. Many of us are. The art lies in knowing when to wield those arms and when to put them down. I don't think it's a matter of pretending to be ideally unharmed by life and untouched by darkness; because that is hypocrisy. Rather, I think it is a matter of being true to your truth and learning when to fight and learning when to be soft. Hopefully, our soft moments in life will largely outweigh, outrank, and outrun our fighting.”
