“Success is a poor teacher”
“Teachers often fail students by complimenting the successful students and ignoring those who do not prove as successful. Teachers need to embrace and praise all children.”
“Failure is a greater teacher than success”
“Can teachers successfully educate children to think for themselves if teachers are not treated as professionals who think for themselves?”
“With respect to teachers' salaries .... Poor teachers are grossly overpaid and good teachers grossly underpaid. Salary schedules tend to be uniform and determined far more by seniority.”
“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.”
