Quotes by Herbert R. Kohl (?)

“Once teachers can forget how a class should be they can discover each year what it must be like with that specific class at that particular moment in their lives.”
― Herbert R. Kohl, 36 Children

“If you want to find a child's weakness, failures, personal problems, or inadequacies, you'll discover them. If you look at a child through the filter of her or his environment or economic status, and make judgments through the filters of your own cultural, gender, and racial biases, you'll find the characteristics you expect.”
