“Teach a child to read and he/she will pass a literary test.”
“If you teach a child to pass a test, he will learn for a day. If you teach a child to understand how he learns, he will learn for a lifetime." -- Kelly Flynn”
“I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote.”
“The fire of literacy is created by the emotional sparks between a child, a book, and the person reading. It isn’t achieved by the book alone, nor by the child alone, nor by the adult who’s reading aloud—it’s the relationship winding between all three, bringing them together in easy harmony.”
“All you have to do to educate a child is leave him alone and teach him to read. The rest is brainwashing.”
