"I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker."

“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.”
                                                                                                                   Derek Bok                                          

"Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world's work, and the power to appreciate life."
                                                                                                                  Brigham Young 

“Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.”
                                                                                                                 Albert Einstein

  1. Hello Sahar, I must say these are absolutely astonishing quotes and one of my favorites: "Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world's work, and the power to appreciate life." This is surely right, education it self is the feeling that completes human beings and puts them right into the correct track it permits us to appreciate everything that surrounds us and who surround us as well!.
