“I am not fully informed of the practices at Harvard, but there is one from which we shall certainly vary, although it has been copied, I believe, by nearly every college and academy in the United States.

We shall, on the contrary, allow them uncontrolled choice in the lectures they shall choose to attend, and require elementary qualification only, and sufficient age.” BelieveHas BeensStatesAgeChoicesCoursesReadingI BelieveUnitedEducationKnowledgePracticeUnited StatesLearningStudentsCollegeParticularAuthorityContrarySufficientBranchesApplicationDestinedVocationExclusiveLecturesAcademyVaryHarvardQualificationsFree Thought Book:Thomas Jefferson: A Chronology of His Thoughts Source: Thomas Jefferson: A Chronology of His Thoughts

“Look, we'll have to confront the pathologies of poverty at some point. We can deal with them cheaply at the front end, in infancy. Or we can wait and jail a troubled adolescent at the tail end. To some extent, we face a choice between investing in preschools or in prisons.” LooksEndsRealityFacesChoicesPoliticsWaitingCommunityJusticeMoneyDealsEducationPovertyHistoryGenerationsFrontsHuman NaturePolicyEqualEthicsStrategyPrisonInvestingIdeologyJailTailsEqual RightsInfancyPathologyFood Stamps Author:Nicholas D.
