1.) Such individualized learning would remove the stigma of looking bad when you don't understand something that others grasp. - pg. 132
I like this quote because it's something that everyone fears. You don't want to be the weakest link and especially for children, this is a concern. So if we could remove this, that would be hugely beneficial to education in general.
2.) Rather, we will learn for a while, work for a while, back and forth until we retire. - pg. 137
What a bleak outlook! I picked this quote mainly for the fact that it does not make me excited to to work. If that's the routine, we need to change that attitude and find a new routine for everyone. This is too depressing to keep in place. Plus if we as educators have a bad outlook, than what kinds of things are we teaching our students?
3.) According to a recent survey from the Education Trust, America is the only industrialized country in which today's young people are less likely than their parents to earn a high school diploma. - pg. 145
While this quote may be upsetting, I find solace in it for the fact that I want to change that attitude and statistic. I hope my teaching inspires all my students to continue their education and push themselves to be the best they can be. I don't want them thinking that they cannot make it in high school or other higher education. We as teachers must strive to make sure we do our best to make every students' dream a reality.
