“If we taught music the way we try to teach engineering, in an unbroken four year course, we could end up with all theory and no music. When we study music, we start to practice from the beginning, and we practice for the entire time.” IfsWayTryingYearsEndsCoursesTeachPracticeStudyFourTeachingTaughtTheoryFour YearsEngineeringUnbroken Author:Charles Kettering
“Where are these rational practices to be taught and acquired? Not within the four walls of a bare building, in which formality predominates... But in the nursery, play-ground, fields, gardens, workshops, manufactures, museums and class-rooms. ...The facts collected from all these sources will be concentrated, explained, discussed, made obvious to all, and shown in their direct application to practice in all the business of life.” MadePlayFactsRoomsClassPracticeFourFieldsBuildingTaughtSourceWallGardenDirectObviousRationalMuseumsApplicationWorkshopsNurseryFormalityFour Walls Author:Robert Owen

“The way history is currently taught in schools, jumping from Hitler to the Henrys, is like a nightmare vision of Star Wars, where you have episode four before you have episode one.

“Paul taught that religions evolved because man did not honor the true God. Because of rebellion, they "exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of the corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures."
