Teaching Quotes

“I would say how important it is that we stop teaching kids, from the beginning, that boys are more important than girls. It's the 21st century, you know, let's go here.

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”

“I feel that for years of teaching in the country and reading criticism in books, I feel like the things most needed in our culture are the understanding of the meanings of our music. We haven't done that good of job teaching our kids what our music means or how we developed our taste in music that reminds us and teaches us who we are.”

“One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.”
