“If Jesus is a teacher only, then all He can do is to tantalize us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if by being born again from above we know Him first as Savior, we know that He did not come to teach us only. He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us.” IfsKnowsWayShouldFirstsSpiritJesusCan DoBornTeachTeacherHolyStandardsStatementsHoly SpiritSaviorSermonsBorn AgainSermon On The Mount Book:Studies in the Sermon on the Mount Source: Studies in the Sermon on the Mount

“Inflation is not a Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor. Rather, it deals most cruelly with those who can least protect themselves. It strikes hardest those millions of our citizens whose incomes do not quickly rise with the cost of living. When prices soar, the pensioner and the widow see their security undermined, the man of thrift sees his savings melt away; the white collar worker, the minister, and the teacher see their standards of living dragged down.” MenGivingWhitePoorDealsMillionsRichTeacherSecurityHe ManCitizensCostProtectStandardsWorkersStrikesIncomeHardestSavingMinistersSoarInflationSavingsHoodWidowsCollarsRobinsStandards Of LivingThriftRobin HoodWhite CollarCost Of Living Author:Dwight D.

“Sure, some [teachers] could give the standard limit definitions, but they [the students] clearly did not understand the definitions - and it would be a remarkable student who did, since it took mathematicians a couple of thousand years to sort out the notion of a limit, and I think most of us who call ourselves professional mathematicians really only understand it when we start to teach the stuff, either in graduate school or beyond.” ThinkingGivingYearsWould BeSchoolStuffTeachTeacherStudentsCoupleThousandLimitsStandardsNotionDefinitionsRemarkableGraduatesMathematicianThousand YearsGraduate SchoolFormal Education Author:Keith Devlin

“When people think the issue can be solved, it becomes a moral imperative to be part of the solution. We can do a lot more within our school districts to recruit aggressively, select people according to high standards, invest in their training and development, and foster and reward their leadership.

“Punitive measures whether administered by police, teachers, spouses or parents have well known standard effects: (1) escape-education has its own name for that: truancy, (2) counterattack-vandalism on schools and attacks on teachers, (3) apathy-a sullen do-nothing withdrawal.
