“Seeing architecture differently from the way you see the rest of life is a bit weird. I believe one should be consistent in all that one does, from the books you read to the way you bring up your children.

“The average person's short-term memory can hold only five to seven bits of data at any one moment. If you put more items in, others fall out. The older you are, the more you have crammed into those memory circuits. Twenty-five-year-olds can remember things because they still have empty space. Some of us take our children to the supermarket in the hope they will remember why we are there.” IfsYearsChildrenPersonsStillsMomentsRememberFallBitsTermMemoriesSpaceFiveEmptyTwentiesOur ChildrenSevenAverageDataFive YearsItemsShort TermTwenty FiveCircuitsSupermarketsAverage PersonEmpty SpaceFive Year OldsShort Term Memory Book:Thinking In The Future Tense Source: Thinking In The Future Tense

“We need to actually teach kids that books aren't like broccoli. You don't have to eat every bit on your plate. It's like secret adult's business. It's the secret we never, ever tell our children.

“The one thing about kids is that you never really know exactly what they're thinking or how they're seeing. After writing about kids, which is a little bit like putting the experience under a magnifying glass, you realize you have no idea how you thought as a kid. I've come to the conclusion that most of the things that we remember about our childhood are lies. We all have memories that stand out from when we were kids, but they're really just snapshots. You can't remember how you reacted because your whole head is different when you stand aside.” ThinkingKnowsWritingLittlesIdeasDifferentWholeKidsRememberLyingBitsRealizingMemoriesSeeingOne ThingChildhoodLittle BitOur ChildrenGlassesConclusionNo IdeaStanding OutSnapshotsMagnifyingMagnifying Glass Author:Stephen King
“Everyone who comes in is just amazed that our children do not have the animosity, the hatred, because these children are into it. You know, once you learn to like yourself, then you don't see this black-white bit. I still say that a good basic education is the only thing. I feel guilty sometimes because I don't think Jesus Christ could get any more accolades than I do when I walk through that classroom, even from the children I do not teach. They know that I love them, but I am forever telling them, "Get into that seat so you can have choices in this world."” ThinkingKnowsWorldFeelsChildrenStillsSometimesChoicesJesusBitsBlackChristWhiteWalksTeachForeverThis WorldLike YouJesus ChristHatredOur ChildrenGuiltySeatsClassroomAmazedAnimosityLike YourselfBlack WhiteAccoladesBasic Education Author:Marva Collins
