I hope our wisdom will grow with our power and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
Oh stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people then great.
I remind everyone: Whether you school them at home or send them to school you as a parent have the responsibility to make sure they learn and behave. Teachers and principals may help but parents are the ones who must accept responsibility.

Most of the time I liked school and got good grades. In junior high though I hit a stumbling block with math - I used to come home and cry because of how frustrated I was! But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college.
In high school a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought 'Me? You've got to be joking!' I mean in junior high I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously I was terrified of math.
Teach love generosity good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows the children will be educating the parents.
Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

My father was my main influence. He was a preacher but he was also a history and political science teacher and since he was my hero I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher.
If history could teach us anything it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization.

History is Philosophy teaching by example.
This is the lesson that history teaches: repetition.
Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
I think the British people are very very attached to the idea that the health service is free at the point of use. But there is no reason why every doctor nurse and teacher in this country has to be employed by the state.
A teacher must believe in the value and interest of his subject as a doctor believes in health.
We all agree that its fit to be as Happy as we can and we need no Instructor to teach us this Knowledge 'tis born with us and is inseparable from our Being but we very much need to be Inform'd what is the true Way to Happiness.
