Some of my favorite quotes

"I can't change a student's bank account but I can change their emotional bank account."  Eric Jensen
I love the power of this statement.  


"Tell me and I forget.  Show me and I remember.  Involve me and I understand."  Chinese Proverb
I have seen the truth of this statement in action in my classroom.

If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?   Maria Montessori
