“In the 21st century when few of us stay in the same job all our lives, I would like to think there was flexibility so teachers could become social workers, or foster carers become teachers.” ThinkingJobsSocialTeacherOur LivesCenturyWorkers21st CenturyFlexibilitySocial WorkerFoster Care Author:Estelle Morris, Baroness Morris of Yardley
“Why do so many young people literally die to belong to fraternities, sororities, and other college social organizations? The answer is complicated, but here is a starting point: Ever since the medieval universities were founded, young people have done whatever it takes to gain acceptance, to break with their past lives, to achieve a sense of power, to carve out a society of their own that isn't quite what their tutors and teachers had in mind. In the United States, hazing and drinking have been endemic since colonial days.” PeopleMindHas BeensStatesDonePastYoungDiesSocialAnswersUnitedBreakUnited StatesTeacherAchieveAcceptanceCollegeGainsOrganizationDrinkingUniversityStartingComplicatedBelongingMedievalStarting PointPast LifeWhatever It TakesFraternityTutorSocial OrganizationSororityHazing Book:Wrongs of Passage: Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking Source: Wrongs of Passage: Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking
“What constitutes a good manager in this field? He must be knowledgeable in the art with which he is concerned, an impresario, labor negotiator, diplomat, educator, publicity and public relations expert, politician, skilled businessman, a social sophisticate, a servant of the community, a tireless leader - becomingly humble before authority - a teacher, a tyrant, and a continuing student of the arts.” ArtSocialCommunityLeaderTeacherFieldsStudentsPoliticianAuthorityConcernedLaborRelationManagementHumbleManagersServantExpertsGood ManTyrantsContinuingBusinessmanPublicityEducatorPublic RelationsKnowledgeableDiplomatsGood Manager Author:John D.

“We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living. If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, brethren!

“When I was in grade school and we had to write papers about what we wanted to be when we grew up, I wanted to be a social worker or a missionary or a teacher... Then I got involved with tennis, and everything was just me, me, me. I was totally selfish and thought about myself and nobody else, because if you let up for one minute, someone was going to come along and beat you. I really wouldn't let anyone or any slice of happiness enter... I didn't like the characteristics that it took to become a champion.” IfsWritingWantedSchoolHappinessSocialTeacherMinutesGrewInvolvedPaperGrew UpBeatsWorkersSelfishSelfishnessChampionCharacteristicsTennisGradesMissionaryPapersSocial WorkerOne MinuteGrades In School Author:Chris Evert
“School success is not predicted by a child's fund of facts or a precocious ability to read as much as by emotional and social measures; being self-assured and interested: knowing what kind of behavior is expected and how to rein in the impulse to misbehave; being able to wait, to follow directions, and to turn to teachers for help; and expressing needs while getting along with other children.” NeedsKindChildrenSelfFactsHelpingAbleSchoolTurnsSocialWaitingAbilityKnowingTeacherEmotionalBehaviorExpectedImpulseFundAssuredReinsGetting AlongPrecocious Author:Daniel Goleman
“Crime is a social problem, and education is the only real deterrent. Look at all of us in prison; we were all truants and dropouts, a failure of the educational system.
