 The job of the teacher is to inspired, to challenge, to excite their

students to want to learn. Yes, they also do explain and demonstrate
and show things, but fundamentally that is beside the point. The
most important thing a teacher is make every student feel like they
are important, to make them feel accountable for doing the work of
learning. Derek Alexander Muller
 The rst education should be the harmonious development of the

child’s physical, mental and spiritual powers. Providing warm and
understanding responses to your children’s ‘hearts’ accomplishes far
more than pressuring book knowledge into their minds. Raymond
and Dorothy Moore
 When the teacher regards each student as a unique individual and

therefore not to be compared with any other, he is then not
concerned with system orthat method. Hiswith

the student to understand the conditioning Ok in uences about him and

within himself, so that he can face intelligently without fear, the

complex process of living and not add more problems to the already
existing mess. Jiddu Krishnamurti

 An eternal question about children is, how should we educate them?

Politicians and educators consider more school days in a year, more
science and math, the use of computers and other technology in the
classroom, more exams and tests, more certi cation for teachers,
and less money for art. All of these responses come from the place
where we want to make the child into the best adult possible, not in
the ancient Greek sense of virtuous and wise, but in the sense of one
who is an e icient part of the machinery of society. But on all these
counts, soul is neglected. Thomas Moore
 A child seldom needs a good talking to as a good listening. Robert

Brault

from the bad side to the good side, from the dark side to the lighted
side, because you will make him aware that this is the way to get
respect, this is the way to be honored. And you will prevent him from
doing anything that makes him fall down in people’s eyes. Osho

I remember laughing constantly with my parents – my dad is a real

 Leaders are not, as we are often led to think, people who go along
with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their
own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is
following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that
enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do
without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance,
patience, humor, exibility, resourcefulness, stubbornness, a keen
sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even
when things are going badly. True leaders, in short, do not make
people into followers, but into other leaders. John Holt

aim is to make ‘good’ citizens, which is to say, docile and
uninquisitive citizens. H.L. Mencken
 Far from failing in its intended task, our educational system is in fact
succeeding magni cently because its aim is to keep the American
people thoughtless enough to go on supporting the system. Richard
Mitchell
 We can get too easily bogged down in the academic part of

homeschooling, a relatively minor part of the whole, which is to raise
competent, caring, literate, happy people. Diane Flynn Keith
 Once upon a time, all children were homeschooled. They were not
sent away from home each day to a place just for children but lived,
learned, worked, and played in the real world, alongside adults and
other children of all ages. Rachel Gathercole
 I’ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my thirty years of teaching:

schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great
enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists
are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets
in English classes. The truth is that schools don’t really teach
anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me
because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as
teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the
institution overwhelms their individual contributions. John Taylor
Gatto
 The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the

individual the burden of pursing

widely shared pursuit until we getOkover our odd conviction that
education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else.

John W. Gardner
 I was delighted to see him growing more cautious and skeptical

about what he heard, especially when he heard it from someone in
apparent authority. I think that is fundamental to a good education.
And if it comes back to bite me from time to time, that’s a price
worth paying. Martine Millman
 Learning and education are a normal part of everyday life and do

not need a vast expensive bureaucracy to force them to happen.
Kytka Hilmar-Jezek
 There are as many approaches to unschooling as there are people,

by design. A child is supported to read when ready and interested,
not on another’s timetable, for example. He can and will be
encouraged to pursue a wide range of interests, based on his
interests, such as free play, inventing, experimenting scienti cally,
video gaming, role modeling through friendship, spiritual
development through inquiry of self and others, athletics, learning to
trust himself and others. Kytka Hilmar-Jezek
 You will not reap the fruit of individuality in your children if you clone
their education. Marilyn Howshall Click to tweet
 The home is the rst and most e ective place to learn the lessons of
life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control, the value of education, honest
work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the
place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success
can compensate for failure in the home. David O. McKay
 More of family and less of school, more of parents and less of peers,
more creative freedom and less formal lessons. Raymond S. Moore

 The status quo was rote memorization and recitation in classrooms

adult learner, a skill set that will last the rest of their lives. Nancy

to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own
company. Be with yourself. Osho

because he hears a di erent drummer. Let him step to the music
which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David

 I’ve tested life and I’ve learned what works for me. Joe Namath
 Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study.
Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this
