“Traditionally, universities have seen size as potentially dilutive to quality. If you doubled the size of campus and faculty, most would argue that you would make it a less compelling school. However, online schools will be as good as their classroom peers only if they are large enough to afford a substantial and ongoing investment.” IfsEnoughSchoolQualityInvestmentUniversitySizeArguingOnlineFacultyClassroomCompellingPeersOngoingCampus Author:John Katzman
“I thought, 'Well, I'll amuse people a little bit.' During lunch hour, while everyone was off to the faculty club and this and that, I set up a bunch of bases down the hallway of the school and I put all of the portraits I had completed... and I waited for the reaction.... that's how I got started again, doing portraits of people around me.” PeopleWellsLittlesSchoolFunBitsHoursLittle BitBasesClubsReactionsBunchFacultyLunchPortraitsHallways Author:Joe Fafard
“School children and students who love God should never say: "For my part I like mathematics"; "I like French"; "I like Greek." They should learn to like all these subjects, because all of them develop that faculty of attention which, directed toward God, is the very substance of prayer.” ShouldChildrenSchoolPrayerAttentionSubjectsStudentsMathematicsSubstanceGod LoveGreekFaculty Book:The Simone Weil Reader Source: The Simone Weil Reader
“But that is the way of the place: down our many twisting corridors, one encounters story after story, some heroic, some villainous, some true, some false, some funny, some tragic, and all of them combining to form the mystical, undefinable entity we call the school. Not exactly the building, not exactly the faculty or the students or the alumni - more than all those things but also less, a paradox, an order, a mystery, a monster, an utter joy.” WayStoriesSchoolFormJoyOrderMysteryStudentsBuildingMonstersEncountersTragicParadoxFacultyHeroicEntityMysticalCombiningCorridorsAlumni Author:Stephen L.

“I cannot recall a period when I did not draw; and at school, the studies that were distasteful to me, mathematics and grammar , were retarded by the indulgence of teachers who were proud of my drawing faculties, and passed over my neglect of uncongenial subjects.” SchoolStudyTeacherSubjectsProudPeriodsDrawsMathematicsDrawingFacultyNeglectRecallsGrammarIndulgenceRetardedDistasteful Book:Let There Be Sculpture Source: Let There Be Sculpture
“Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. All three are processes in which useful or accessible forms of some quantity, such as energy or money, are transformed into useless, inaccessible forms of the same quantity. That is not to say that these three processes don't have fringe benefits: taxes pay for roads and schools; the second law of thermodynamics drives cars, computers and metabolism; and death, at the very least, opens up tenured faculty positions.” SchoolFormLawLife IsCertainThreeEnergyProcessPayCarPositionTaxesBenefitsComputerUselessFacultyTransformedQuantityFringeInaccessibleMetabolismThermodynamics Author:Seth Lloyd

“We have the ability to choose, we are God's higher form of creation, we surpass all other forms of life and we don't use the mental faculties we've been given. We don't even understand what we are capable of doing. School doesn't teach us anything about ourselves. So the more we learn about ourselves, the more we take control over our life.” UseSchoolFormGivenAbilityTeachOur LivesCreationHigherCapableFacultyTake ControlAbility To Choose Author:Bob Proctor
