“I can tell in two minutes if I should hire someone in the kitchen. Two minutes. It's his desire. It's that open-eyed, attentive expression. If he doesn't have it ...

“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.” ThinkingShouldIdeasDifferentProcessEducationOpinionRolesTeachExampleStudentsExpressionIntellectualImportanceRangeThoughtfulEngagementClassroomRootedTopicsStanceDifferent OpinionsIntellectual Freedom Author:Bell Hooks

“My mother teaches high school English, and she's an artist and a poet and a sculptor, she's published twelve poetry books. I grew up in a household in Venezuela with living, breathing art installations that were the way that she used to express herself, a highly creative environment where ideas were celebrated, where artistic expression was celebrated. Seeing her as somebody who was always able to have a creative output - if she felt sad, she wrote a poem, if she felt happy, she made a sculpture - I think for me, there was an early interest in finding outlets for my passions.” IfsThinkingWayArtMadeBookIdeasAbleSchoolUsedMotherArtistPassionFeltInterestTeachCreativeEnvironmentSeeingPoetExpressionGrewFindingsGrew UpHigh SchoolArtisticBreathingTwelveHouseholdSculptureOutletsMy PassionSculptorsOutputVenezuelaArtistic ExpressionInstallationSchool English Author:Jason Silva
