“My school in St. Louis is great. They basically created a program where I can do online classes and independent studies when I'm traveling. But then I still get to go home and take classes in a normal school environment.” StillsI CanHomeSchoolCan DoClassStudyEnvironmentNormalProgramIndependentOnline Author:Karlie Kloss
“Our accent will be upon youth: we need new ideas, new methods, new approaches. We will call upon young students of political science throughout the nation to help us. We will encourage these young students to launch their own independent study, and then give us their analysis and their suggestions. We are completely disenchanted with the old, adult, established politicians. We want to see some new faces -- more militant faces.” WantNeedsGivingIdeasHelpingFacesYoungPoliticalNationsStudyYouthStudentsPoliticianApproachAdultsIndependentMethodAnalysisNew IdeasAccentsSuggestionsPolitical ScienceMilitantNew ApproachNew FacesDisenchantedYoung Students Author:Malcolm X
“Physics is to be regarded not so much as the study of something a priori given, but rather as the development of methods of ordering and surveying human experience. In this respect our task must be to account for such experience in a manner independent of individual subjective judgement and therefore objective in the sense that it can be unambiguously communicated in ordinary human language.” HumansIndividualLanguageGivenStudyDevelopmentOrdinaryTasksAccountsIndependentMethodPhysicsObjectivesJudgementHuman ExperienceSubjectiveHuman Language Book:Collected Works Source: Collected Works
“What seems certain is that Pythagoras developed the idea of mathematical logic. He realized that numbers exist independently of the tangible world and therefore their study was untainted by inaccuracies of perception. This meant he could discover truths which were independent of opinion of prejudice and which were more absolute than any previous knowledge.” WorldIdeasSeemsCertainNumbersOpinionStudyPerceptionLogicPrejudiceAbsolutesIndependentMathematicalTangibleMathematical Logic Author:Simon Singh

“many rules could be made for the giving of orders. Don't preach when you give orders. Don't discuss matters already settled unless you have fresh data. Make your direction so specific that there will be no question whether they have been obeyed or not. Find out how to give directions and yet to allow people opportunity for independent thinking, for initiative. And so on and so on. Order-giving requires just as much study and just as much training as any other skill we wish to acquire.” PeopleThinkingGivingHas BeensMadeMatterOrderOpportunityWishLeadershipStudySkillsTrainingIndependentManagementDataAcquireInitiativeIndependent Thinking Author:Mary Parker Follett
“It were much to be desired, that when mathematical processes pass through the human brain instead of through the medium of inanimate mechanism, it were equally a necessity of things that the reasonings connected with operations should hold the same just place as a clear and well-defined branch of the subject of analysis, a fundamental but yet independent ingredient in the science, which they must do in studying the engine.” ShouldHumansWellsProcessBrainStudyClearSubjectsIndependentFundamentalsConnectedMediumsDefinedMathematicalOperationsAnalysisReasoningBranchesIngredientsEnginesMechanismHuman Brain Author:Ada Lovelace

“In studying the action of the Analytical Engine, we find that the peculiar and independent nature of the considerations which in all mathematical analysis belong to operations, as distinguished from the objects operated upon and from the results of the operations performed upon those objects, is very strikingly defined and separated.” ActionResultsStudyObjectsIndependentDefinedMathematicalOperationsAnalysisConsiderationPeculiarEnginesDistinguishedMathematical Analysis Author:Ada Lovelace
