“To have a group of cloistered clinicians away completely from the broad current of professional life would be bad for teacher and worse for student. The primary work of a professor of medicine in a medical school is in the wards, teaching his pupils how to deal with patients and their diseases.” Would BeSchoolDealsTeacherGroupsTeachingStudentsDiseaseMedicinePatientCurrentsMedicalPrimariesBroadsProfessorsPupilsProfessional LifeMedical SchoolClinicians Book:The educational essays Source: The educational essays
“To simply see a teacher to gain power is a mistake. You'll gain the power, but with the current mindset that you have you'll probably create more unhappiness for yourself than happiness.” MistakeTeacherBuddhismGainsCurrentsMindsetUnhappinessRama Author:Frederick Lenz

“In the current environment, attributing low student performance to teacher tenure is one of the great unproven causal links out there. The relationship just hasn't been examined very carefully, but we should all recognize that in higher education the strongest institutions generally have the most robust tenure systems, and in elementary and secondary, the states with the strongest teacher unions (and tenure systems) tend to have the highest student performance.” ShouldStatesEnvironmentTeacherStudentsHigherHighestLowsPerformancesInstitutionsUnionsCurrentsStrongestLinksRobustHigher EducationTenureTeachers Unions Author:Nicholas Lemann
“"Little Brother" sounds an optimistic warning. It extrapolates from current events to remind us of the ever-growing threats to liberty. But it also notes that liberty ultimately resides in our individual attitudes and actions. In our increasingly authoritarian world, I especially hope that teenagers and young adults will read it - and then persuade their peers, parents and teachers to follow suit.” WorldLittlesActionYoungIndividualParentSoundAttitudeLibertyTeacherGrowingEventsBrotherAdultsThreatNotesYoung AdultCurrentsOptimisticSuitsTeenagerWarningPeersLittle BrotherCurrent EventsParents And TeachersThreats To Liberty Author:Dan Gillmor
