“Any child may go through periods during which they become less outspoken with their parents or teachers. But girls, like boys, live in many different worlds - they have their friends and their classroom and their parents - and within these different domains, they may have different levels of expressiveness.” WorldMayChildrenDifferentGirlParentLevelsBoysTeacherPeriodsClassroomDomainDifferent WorldsDifferent LevelsOutspokenLike A Boy Author:Christina Hoff Sommers
“If you become very close to your teacher, if you do well in your meditation, a deep emotional bond will develop between both of you over a period of time. You can be thousands of miles away from your teacher and find that induction is always taking place. That's the ideal.” IfsWellsTeacherMeditationEmotionalPeriodsIdealsMilesEnlightenedMiles AwayDeep Emotional Author:Frederick Lenz
“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
“I was very bored at school. I found it very easy and slow and grey. My teachers didn't really know how to handle me, because I was very sarcastic. I was over-confident, arrogant, a typical youngest child. I went through periods of withdrawing into myself and school psychologists tried to figure me out, work out why I didn't fit in.

“Adolescence is a relatively recent thing in human history -- a period of years between the constraints of childhood and the responsibilities of adulthood. This irresponsible period of adolescence is artificially extended by long years of education, much of it wasted on frivolities. Tenure extends adolescence even further for teachers and professors.” YearsHumansLongResponsibilityTeacherChildhoodPeriodsProfessorsAdulthoodAdolescenceHuman HistoryConstraintsIrresponsibleTenureFrivolity Author:Thomas Sowell
“Back in the day for me was a great time in my life - I was in my 20s. Most people refer to their experiences in their twenties as being a highlight in their life. It's a period of time where you often develop your own way, your own sound, your own identity, and that happened with me, when I was with a great teacher - Miles Davis.” PeopleWaySoundTeacherHappenedIdentityPeriodsTwentiesMilesGreat TimesGreat TeacherHighlightsBack In The Day Author:Herbie Hancock

“What I know is that if I was asked to teach mathematics in French for a week to young kids, I would do my homework and I think I could do a decent job. I don't think a degree in education would make me a better teacher. I sometimes teach in college. I don't teach for long periods of time, but I give workshops and I think I can communicate stuff. So, it's about communicating.” IfsThinkingKnowsGivingLongI CanSometimesKidsJobsYoungStuffTeachTeacherWeekCollegePeriodsDegreesMathematicsCommunicateDecentHomeworkWorkshopsLong Periods Of Time Author:Philippe Falardeau
