Psychology Quotes

“G. Stanley Hall, a creature of his times, believed strongly that adolescence was determined – a fixed feature of human development that could be explained and accounted for in scientific fashion. To make his case, he relied on Haeckel's faulty recapitulation idea, Lombroso's faulty phrenology-inspired theories of crime, a plethora of anecdotes and one-sided interpretations of data. Given the issues, theories, standards and data-handling methods of his day, he did a superb job. But when you take away the shoddy theories, put the anecdotes in their place, and look for alternate explanations of the data, the bronze statue tumbles hard. I have no doubt that many of the street teens of Hall's time were suffering or insufferable, but it's a serious mistake to develop a timeless, universal theory of human nature around the peculiarities of the people of one's own time and place.”

“Et vanlig munnhell sier at skolen ikke er et sted for å være, men et sted for å lære. Dette er sant. Men det er også viktig at skolen er et sted der vi sørger for å nære, ikke tære.”

“Hvis problemet er at skolen straffer manglende oppmøte, bør straffingen - snarere enn det manglende oppmøtet som sådan - identifiseres som problemet. Hvis det er noe skolen/lærere gjør som skaper problemer for barnet, så si det eksplisitt. Ikke beskytt den sterke og profesjonelle parten i relasjonen ved å være høflig, og dermed plassere et problem i barnet når det ikke hører hjemme der.”
