“The number of books students read...is among the best indicators of student reading development.”

“Don't read a book and be a follower; read a book and be a student.”

“Students who do not develop reading fluency, regardless of how bright they are, are likely to remain poor readers throughout their lives.”

“Why did colleges make their students take examinations, and why did they give grade? What did a grade really mean? When a student "studied" did he do anything more than read and think-- or was there something special which no one in Walden Two would know about? Why did the professors lecture to the students? Were the students never expected to do anything except answer questions? Was it true that students were made to read books they were not interested in?”

“The student is to read history actively not passively.”

“Classics aren't books that are read for pleasure. Classics are books that are imposed on unwilling students, books that are subjected to analyses of "levels of significance" and other blatt, books that are dead.”
