A Word to the Reader
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in
a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their
skin but by the content of their character.

Students: You, too, hold the power of reform in your
expectations. If you refuse to be bored, you can work with
your teachers to implement procedures given at
VisualAndActive.com and Metcenter.org and dozens of other
school-reform websites. The future is indeed in your
control.

Authentic Work
The best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write
programs, and to study great programs that other people
have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the
Computer Science Center and fshed out listings of their

Be Yourself
Courage doesn't always road. Sometimes courage is the quiet
voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”
Mary Anne Radmacher
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who
mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss
Belief systems
School is the advertising agency which makes you believe
that you need the society as it is. Ivan Illich
Boredom
School days are the unhappiest in the whole span of human
existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and
unpleasant ordinances, with brutal violations of common
sense and common decency. Henry Louis Menken

Bullying, Ageism, Racism
I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school
for that. Dick Gregory

A Book of Quotations 8
But then Christopher Reynolds, the house, took me aside the next day
and told me to put an end to this and made me see that what I thought
was teasing and joking around was psychological bullying and that it
could make the victim's life a misery. He made it clear that there was no
place for bullying in the school and that if I kept it up, then they would
have to consider asking me to leave.
That hit me hard because there was no way I had intended to bully the
boy - I already knew that I detested bullies. I subsequently apologised to
him for the teasing, and also made a special effort to be friendly and
helpful towards him henceforth. He developed a trust in me such that,
when I became a prefect, he would sometimes come to me for advice or
help if he was being bullied by other boys (he was a natural victim). But
the thing is, CR's approach - the school's approach - was to help the
individual student to nurture the positive and push out the negative
aspects in their own behaviours.

Curiosity
"See that bird?” my dad asked. “What kind of a bird is that?"
And I said, "I haven't the slightest idea." He said, "It's a
brown throated thrush. In Italian it is a -------; in
Portuguese it is called a ------; in Japanese, they say
-------. Now, you know in many languages the name of
that bird and yet you know absolutely nothing whatever
about the bird. You only know about humans in diferent
places and what they call the bird. Now, let's look at the
bird." Richard Feynman
Curriculum
Given the widening array of possibilities, there’s no reason
that every child must master the sciences, algebra, geometry,
biology, or any of the rest of the standard high school
curriculum that has barely changed in half a century.
Robert Reich, Secretary of Labor (Clinton Administration)
Deschooling
Everywhere the hidden curriculum of schooling initiates the
citizen to the myth that bureaucracies guided by scientifc
knowledge are efcient and benevolent. Everywhere this
same curriculum instills in the pupil the myth that increased
production will provide a better life. And everywhere it
develops the habit of self-defeating consumption of services
A Book of Quotations 10
and alienating production, the tolerance for institutional
dependence, and the recognition of institutional rankings.
The hidden curriculum of school does all this in spite of
contrary eforts undertaken by teachers and no matter what
ideology prevails. Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

Difcult Work
I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined
this government: "I have nothing to ofer but blood, toil,
tears and sweat." … We have before us an ordeal of the
most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long
months of struggle and of sufering. Winston Churchill,
First Speech as Prime Minister May 13, 1940 to House of
Commons.

that arises. If we don't have this attitude, we should not be
educating our youth. Littky, p. 175 in Doc, memo to staf.
Digital Education
[Schools] can embrace digital solutions—such as online
courses and independent studies—to replace face-to-face
courses cut during difcult budget times. In addition,
tutoring companies will perfect their ability to deliver help to
struggling kids digitally.
To help teachers cope with these changes, universities will
need to redesign teacher preparation programs
to emphasize how to diferentiate instruction for
students. State curriculum committees must redesign
standards documents to make them more fexible, and
policymakers must redesign teacher evaluation programs to
reward innovative educators who create individualized
learning environments for students.
...[T]he work of the classroom teacher will change
drastically. Instead of leading groups through standalone
lessons, teachers will increasingly match individuals with
learning solutions aligned with their interests and
abilities. Content will be packaged and delivered
asynchronously, allowing students to work independently
and revisit lessons as needed. Face-to-face experiences
will be combined with digital interactions; geographic

Future
We are now at a point where we must educate our children in
what no one knew yesterday, and prepare our schools for
what no one knows yet. Margaret Mead
Goals
We should develop students who know how to:
identify problems,
use their intelligences to solve problems and create
products,
demonstrate their understanding in a variety of ways, and
work with others.
Educators should:
personalize education and work to individualize instruction;
enable students to develop and use their areas of strength;
view students' parents as partners and educate them, too;
ofer an environment that supports faculty growth; and
demonstrate that students are prepared for the future.

Individualized Learning
State curriculum committees must redesign standards
documents to make them more fexible, and policymakers
must redesign teacher evaluation programs to reward
innovative educators who create individualized learning
environments for students. Ferriter, William M. “Preparing
to Teach Digitally”
Innovations
Educational innovators still assume that educational
institutions function like funnels for the programs they
package. Education is assumed to be the result of an
institutional process managed by the educator. As long as
the relations continue to be those between a supplier and a
consumer, educational research will remain a circular
process. It will amass scientifc evidence in support of the
need for more educational packages and for their more
deadly accurate delivery to the individual customer, just as a

The diference between school and life? In school, you're

Lifelong Learning
School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly
of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling
implies custodial care for persons who are declared
undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has
been built to serve them. Ivan Illich
Memorization
Give 21st Century Students Time to Understand
We can all agree that it is important for students to graduate
from high school. However, what happens when “graduating”
from high school does not necessarily represent an
understanding of the basic skills needed in college and the
workplace? More than half of the students entering public
colleges and universities in Florida need remedial classes in
math, reading, and writing prior to starting their college
classes. The problem is NOT the amount of money we are
putting into our public schools; rather, the structure and
curriculum of public education needs reform. Memorizing
information for the FCAT or College Placement Test is not
going to equip students with the skills needed for the 21st
century.

a way that is useful and accessible both to them personally
and for the 21st century. We must change our expectations
about time and make conceptual understanding (not rote
repetition) our frst priority. A. Fischler
Mission of Schools
If the school sends out children with a desire for knowledge
and some idea of how to acquire and use it, it will have done
its work. Richard Livingstone
Negotiation
William Glasser defned teaching as curriculum, instruction
and assessment. Many teachers believe that they need to
control the method and testing. Other teachers, including
me, negotiate with their students what they will learn, when
they will learn it and how we will check that they have
learned it. Dennis Yuzenas
Nerds

Parents
I have been taking my sons and daughter to work with me for
well over 10 years. The greatest parts of the day have been
having your children interact with coworkers, for them to see
you in a diferent environment, and to understand how kind
and patient so many people are in a working environment. It
helps them form opinions on the type of work they are
interested in. With one son entering college, I can see that
he is leaning towards the types of interactions he has had
over the years that most stimulated him (both social and
technological). I think this is an experience that every
Father, Mother, Son, and Daughter should experience.

Passion
Until we fnd the child’s passion, it’s just school. When the child
fnds his passion, we teach to that passion. We can fnd

Persistence
Never give in -- never, never, never, never -- in nothing

Reform
Any attempt to reform the university without attending to the
system of which it is an integral part is like trying to do
urban renewal in New York City from the twelfth story up.

Relationships
What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or
conversation with the teacher. William Glasser
Relevance
I was a small boy and my father used to read to me from an
encyclopedia. One day we read about dinosaurs and the
book said that the dinosaur was twenty-fve feet high with a
head six feet across. "Let's see what that means. That would
mean that if he stood in our front yard, he would be high
enough to put his head through the third-story window but

not quite because his head would be a little bit too wide."

Trust in Something
It was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I
was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards
10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking
forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so
you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your
future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny,
life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will
connect down the road will give you the confdence to follow
your heart, even when it leads you of the well-worn path,
and that will make all the diference.
Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Speech, 2005
Small Schools
The frst R is Rigor – making sure all students are given a
challenging curriculum that prepares them for college or
work. The second R is Relevance – making sure kids have
courses and projects that clearly relate to their lives and their
goals. The third R is Relationships – making sure kids have
a number of adults who know them, look out for them, and
push them to achieve. The three Rs are almost always easier
to promote in smaller schools. ... Students in smaller
schools are more motivated, have higher attendance rates,
feel safer, and graduate and attend college in higher
numbers. Bill Gates, National High School Summit, 2005

Sports
In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was
much better than I thought I was, and would make me do
more in a positive sense. He was the frst person who taught
me not to be afraid of failure. Mike Kryzewski
Stagnation
Together we have come to realize that for most men, the
right to learn is curtailed buy the obligation to attend school.
Ivan Illich
Success
Running a school where the students all succeed, even if
some students have to help others to make the grade, is
good preparation for democracy. William Glasser
Surrender
We shall not fag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall
fght in France, we shall fght on the seas and oceans, we
shall fght with growing confdence and growing strength in
the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.
A Book of Quotations 27
We shall fght on the beaches, we shall fght on the landing
grounds, we shall fght in the felds and in the streets, we
shall fght in the hills; we shall never surrender,
Winston Churchill, to the House of Commons of the British
Parliament on 4 June 1940.
Teachers
Unfortunately, to most people, teaching is the giving of
knowledge. What are you going to tell the students? What is
your expertise? But teaching is really about bringing out
what's already inside people. Dennis Littky
Technology
What you are seeing is the state school tuitions go up.
California being a strong case of that, but that's broadly
across the United States with the exception of four or fve
states. If you go way back into the '60s and '70s, most places
had truly free [college education]. It just puts pressure on
for innovation. Thank goodness there is a way to get
innovation, hopefully in the personnel system, but also in
A Book of Quotations 28
[online education].
If you take K-12, online can have some impact there. There's
people like Rocketship, a charter that is trying to mix in
online so they can have more efcient teaching. The role of
online in K-12, I hope we can prove that out, but there it's
the teacher efectiveness that is probably the biggest thing.
If you move up to college level, the online thing can be
absolutely phenomenal because students are more mature,
motivated, involved in things. Because that piece can be done
without any political complexity, I'm a little more sure that
we'll drive a lot of efciency in what college learning morphs
into than K-12. Bill Gates, interview on Cnet.com
Tests
Multiple Intelligences is most usefully invoked in the service
of two educational goals. The frst is to help students
achieve certain valued adult roles or end-states. If one
wants everyone to be able to engage in artistic activities, it
makes sense to develop linguistic intelligence for the poet,
spatial intelligence for the graphic artist and sculptor,
movement intelligence for the dancer and musical
intelligence for the composer. If we want everyone to be
civil, then it is important to develop the personal
intelligences.

Understanding, Performances of
When it comes to probing a student’s understanding of
evolution, the shrewd pedagogue looks beyond the mastery
of dictionary defnitions or the recitation of textbook
examples. A student demonstrates or “performs” his
understanding when he can examine a range of species
found in diferent ecological niches and speculate about the
reasons for their particular ensemble of traits. A student
performs her understanding of the Holocaust when she can
compare events in a Nazi concentration camp to such
contemporary genocidal events as those in Bosnia, Kosovo or
Rwanda in the 1990s.
Howard Gardner, Intelligence Reframed
Visual Learning
Movies, soap operas, TV shows and radio shows are competing for
the minds of our young people. If we are going to have a chance
at educating them, we need to use the same methods -- audio
and visual. Paul A. Wagner (president of Rollins College) in
Collier's Magazine, 1949
Who's in charge?
It's all about control. Many teachers are afraid to share the
control of the class with their students. Or they just like
being in control. I fnd it's just easier to put students in

charge. The less I control, the more the students take
responsibility for their learning, and there are fewer
disciplinary issues. The students want to spend their class
time doing things that they like to do. My job is facilitating
and guiding them closer to the parts of the curriculum that
make sense for each individual. Dennis Yuzenas

About the Editors of this book
Will Sutherland was trained as a
teacher at St Luke’s College Exeter,
majoring in Physical Education, Maths
and Education. Having played rugby at
county level he played for the College
during his frst 2 years. He had sailed
since he was 6, and annually competed with his Father in the
Enterprise UK National championships. Being keen to get
involved in outdoor adventure sports he spent the last year
at college, white water canoeing, canoe surfng, climbing,
diving and sailing bigger boats.
It was whilst learning to ice climb on Ben Nevis that he
realized he had to learn to ski in order to access ice climbs in
the Alps. He meet JC and hence ended up in Switzerland at
Aiglon for one year to learn to ski whilst teaching maths and
being responsible for Junior Expeditions.
He eventually stayed 17 years, spending
6 years as Housemaster in Belvedere,
and 10 in Alpina.

During this time he achieved RYA Yachtmaster Instructor
(Ocean) status with a commercial ticket.

Steve McCrea, an alumnus of Aiglon, is a teacher in Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., and an advocate of using video in the
classroom. His channel (youtube.com/visualandactive)
documents ways that teachers can bring technology into the
integrated lesson plan. He led a team of teachers that
pulled together the blended curriculum for QBE Schools,
harnessing the cultures of Aiglon College (Villars), the Met
Center (Providence, R.I.) and Maverick Schools (Miami, Fla.):
character development (planned hardships, delayed
gratifcation), relationships (surrounding kids with adults
who know them, look out for them and push them to
achieve), and computer-based instruction (based on the
work of Dr. Abraham Fischler). The QBE curriculum allocates

curriculum time. Modern teaching methods and styles
break down the barriers between teacher and student,
and create an informal but structured learning
environment. This allows more “one to one” time and
fosters a sense of enquiry and team work to accomplish
a common goal. The growth mind set is “All is possible,
yes we can!” so the peer pressure is for everyone to
succeed. Each individual is motivated to go to college
and on to greater things.

Some Meditations by John Corlette
Well, all this may be true, and a lot more, but if they are
complaining to other people, and invariably they do, they are
complaining to the wrong person. They should be
complaining to themselves, for they are themselves to blame.
Our lives are what we make of them, and if they are dull and
uninteresting, frustrated, colourless and unsatisfying, it is
because we make them so.
A Book of Quotations 44
order and to see us enjoying them if we will let Him. As
Shakespeare says in Julius Caesar, 'the fault, dear Brutus, is
not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.'
The frst thing (and this is the frst step in being really
grown-up) is to understand that our lives are what we make
them, and the credit for a good life is ours, just as the blame
for a bad one is ours also.
A Book of Quotations 45
own, are developed and used by us to the full. So many
people spend most of their time and energy trying to be
somebody else, trying to keep up with the Joneses. Never
mind about the Joneses, they are somebody else. You can
never be like them. Do not try. Be yourself, and you will be a
much better person than you will ever be by trying to be like
someone else. Know yourself, and, with God's help, fulfll the
nature of your own being; be yourself.

say and think, makes a diference to everyone around you.
You cannot escape from this. Whether you want to or not,
you have an infuence on those around you, and that
infuence will be either good or bad; it cannot be neutral.
And you are responsible for it. The good things you do, you
are responsible for. The bad things you do, you are
responsible for, and you are responsible for the good things
which you fail to do and which you ought to do. In order that
Evil shall triumph, it is sufcient that good men do nothing.
A Book of Quotations 47
triumph, it is sufcient that Good Men do nothing. We must
never allow this to happen. We must do everything we can to
prevent it. We must stand up at all times for the right against
the wrong, so that good shall triumph, and evil deeds and
evil thoughts shall have no power over us any more.
What you think, what you say and what you do has
tremendous power over other people. Something which you
say to someone or something which they overhear you
saying, may change that person's life completely - and most
of the time don't know what you have done. You may
suggest that someone read a book which contains immoral
or anti-Christian ideas, and that person may be infuenced
by that book and adopt some of the immoral ideas in it. What
have you done? It is a grave responsibility, isn't it? Or you
may speak of courage and wisdom and compassion, and so
inspire someone who hears you that his whole life is
changed and he becomes a new person.
A Book of Quotations 48
Fear
This morning I want your minds to dwell upon the subject of
Fear - the emotion or feeling of being afraid of someone, of
something, of some idea, of being afraid of loss, of criticism,
or of something which you believe to be a threat or menace
to you or to something which you value.
Jesus said, "Perfect love casteth out fear." What did he mean?
Fear is rejection. When we are afraid of something we reject
it, we try to run away from it, whether it is a person, a thing,
a duty to be performed, or an idea. Fear is an absence of
faith. We have no faith in the thing of which we are afraid.
A Book of Quotations 49
you cannot love a person or thing or idea unless you have
faith in it. And if you have faith in it and love it you will not
fear it. "Perfect love casteth out fear."
And do not imagine that you can only feel the emotion of
love towards people. You can, and must, love everything that
is. Not only must you love everybody, but you must love
every thing you see, and touch, and know. If you do this, not
only will fear disappear from your life, but both you, and the
people and things you love will be transformed. For love is
life, where fear is death. And "perfect love casteth out fear."
A Book of Quotations 50
send the boy home or keep him and give him another
chance. Such a decision is not easy to make. What does it
depend on?
If you take the frst view, there is no problem. You just shoot
them out and say good riddance to bad rubbish. But, if you
take the second view, as I do, and want to try and help them
over their problem, and put them back on their feet, then
you immediately have a whole lot of other questions you
have to answer.
If you decide to take these risks, how are you going to set
about helping the boy master his problem or escape from his
A Book of Quotations 51
slavery to a bad habit? Should you punish him? If so, how?
Should he have psychiatric treatment? Should a master or
another boy take him in hand and give him moral support?
The answers to these questions will be diferent with each
individual boy and will vary according to the prevailing
circumstances. And, having embarked on such a rescue
operation, at what point do you admit that you have failed,
or alternatively at what point do you recognise that the
damage being done to other boys or to the school no longer
justifes you in continuing? If you decide this, the boy has to
go anyway.
But, if the boy who has been in trouble begins to keep out of
it; if the boy who was doing badly begins to do well; then all
the trouble you have taken and the risks you have run will
seem worthwhile.
So, when you see anyone in trouble, think of this and think,
"Is there anything which I can do to help him to straighten
himself out?" Very often the most valuable thing which you
can ofer will be your friendship.
Meanwhile, you will not always know what other people are
doing to help and it will not always be possible to tell you.
So, try and understand.

We cannot always succeed in being of service to other
people, for in the end each man has to work out his own
salvation, but we can and must always try.

upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make
you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
