“Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men. A creative genius cannot be trained. There are no schools for creativeness. A genius is precisely a man who defies all schools and rules, who deviates from the traditional roads of routine and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. A genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made.” MenMadeSelfSchoolCreativePathTeacherGrowingLandGeniusTraditionalRoutinePupilsBreedingIngeniousSelf MadeInaccessibleCreativenessDeviateNew PathsCreative Genius Book:Bureaucracy: The Economist Source: Bureaucracy: The Economist

“Emotional 'literacy' implies an expanded responsibility for schools in helping to socialize children. This daunting task requires two major changes: that teachers go beyond their traditional mission and that people in the community become more involved with schools as both active participants in children's learning and as individual mentors.” PeopleChildrenTwoHelpingSchoolIndividualCommunityResponsibilityTeacherEmotionalInvolvedMajorsTasksMissionsActiveTraditionalMentorLiteracyParticipantsMajor ChangeDaunting TasksEmotional Literacy Author:Daniel Goleman

“There is a great need for a new approach, new methods and new tools in teaching, man's oldest and most reactionary craft. There is great need for a rapid increase in the productivity of learning. There is, above all, great need for methods that will make the teacher effective and multiply his or her efforts and competence. Teaching is, in fact, the only traditional craft in which we have not yet fashioned the tools that make an ordinary person capable of superior performance. In this respect, teaching is far behind medicine, where the tools first became available a century or more ago.” MenNeedsFirstsPersonsFactsEffortBehindsTeacherTeachingCenturyApproachCapableOrdinaryToolsPerformancesIncreaseMethodMedicineAvailableProductivitySuperiorsTraditionalCraftsRapidsCompetenceReactionariesOrdinary PersonNew ApproachSuperior Performance Author:Peter Drucker
“Many teachers of the Sixties generation said "We will steal your children", and they did. A significant part of America has converted to the ideas of the 1960s - hedonism, self-indulgence and consumerism. For half of all Americans today, the Woodstock culture of the Sixties is the culture they grew up with - their traditional culture. For them, Judeo-Christian culture is outside the mainstream now. The counter-culture has become the dominant culture, and the former culture a dissident culture - something that is far out, and 'extreme'.” ChildrenSaidIdeasSelfTodayChristianAmericaCultureHalfTeacherGenerationsGrewGrew UpOur ChildrenExtremesSignificantStealingTraditionalFormerYour ChildrenMainstreamSixtyConsumerismDominant1960sIndulgenceSelf IndulgenceDissidentsHedonismWoodstockDominant CultureCounter Culture Author:Pat Buchanan
