In mine opinion, love is fitter than fear, gentleness better than beating, to bring up a child rightly in learning.

Young children were sooner allured by love, than driven by beating, to attain good learning.

Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty.

When I went to law school, I went to learn about justice and equal rights.

I had to do a lot of studying 'cause I had to learn new languages all the time. So it was a little bit painful watching other kids play outside, and I'm stuck at home learning something.

The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.
