“I would take school instruction out of the hands of the old order of decrepit, stammering, journeymen-teachers as well as from the new weak ones, who are generally no better for popular instruction, and entrust it to the undivided powers of Nature herself, to the light that God kindles and ever keeps alive in the hearts of fathers and mothers, to the interest of parents who desire that their children should grow up in favour with God and man.” MenShouldWellsHeartChildrenHandsLightSchoolMotherDesireOrderFatherGrowsParentInterestGrowing UpTeacherAliveWeakInstructionFavourKindlesDecrepitPower Of NatureStammering Author:Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
“The dreams of the past - whether it was public TV being rolled into the classroom to teach Spanish, or the film projectors or the videotapes or the computer-aided instruction drill systems - the hopes have been dashed in terms of technology having some big impact. The foundation, I think can play a unique role there. Now, our money is more to the teacher-effectiveness thing, and technology is No. 2, but I'll probably spend more money on the technology things.” ThinkingHas BeensPlayDreamBigsPastFilmTermRolesTeachTechnologyTeacherTvsComputerUniqueFoundationImpactInstructionClassroomMore MoneyEffectivenessDrillsBig ImpactProjectors Author:Bill Gates
“The teachers tried everything, even pleading, but Tomas was in the habit of addressing them only in Latin, a language he spoke with papal fluency and in which he did not stammer.

“What parents and teachers and caregivers did with me that actually worked and a lot of that was the old fashion 50s upbringing. They just gave the instruction when I did something wrong - life was more structured. So basically it's [my work] based on experiences with me that worked and it was teachers and parents that made me have those experiences.” MadeParentTeacherFashionInstructionUpbringingCaregiversParents And TeachersOld FashionWrong Life Author:Temple Grandin
“I simply followed (my teacher's) instruction which was to focus the mind on pure being 'I am', and stay in it. I used to sit for hours together, with nothing but the 'I am' in my mind and soon peace and joy and a deep all-embracing love became my normal state. In it all disappeared -- myself, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around me. Only peace remained and unfathomable silence.” WorldMindStatesTogetherUsedJoyHoursLove IsSilenceFocusTeacherPureNormalInstructionGuruUnfathomablePeace And JoyEmbracing Love Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
“So long as the mental and moral instruction of man is left solely in the hands of hired servants of the public--let them be teachers of religion, professors of colleges, authors of books, or editors of journals or periodical publications, dependent upon their literary incomes for their daily bread, so long shall we hear but half the truth; and well if we hear so much. Our teachers, political, scientific, moral, or religious; our writers, grave or gay, are compelled to administer to our prejudices and to perpetuate our ignorance.” IfsMenWellsLongBookHandsPoliticalLeftReligiousHalfMoralTeacherIgnoranceCollegeGayPrejudiceGravesIncomeBreadServantDependentEditorsProfessorsInstructionJournalCompelledPublicationDaily Bread Author:Frances Wright

“In any case, once you're dealing on a nonverbal level, ambiguity is unavoidable. But it's the ambiguity of all art, of a fine piece of music or a painting - you don't need written instructions by the composer or painter accompanying such works to 'explain' them. “Explaining” them contributes nothing but a superficial 'cultural' value which has no value except for critics and teachers who have to earn a living.” NeedsArtValuesLevelsCasesTeacherPiecesWrittenPaintingFineCriticsPainterInstructionComposerSuperficialExplainingAmbiguityNonverbal Author:Stanley Kubrick
