Teaching Kids Quotes

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 51

Education alone won't change anything,
First we gotta rid education of all archaism.
Rather than being a tool of indoctrination,
Education oughta be a force of undoctrination.
Education ought to be secular,
Education ought to be nonsectarian.
Sectarianism that passes as education,
Is the very antithesis of education.
Scriptures can be a part of education,
But they mustn't be the basis of education.
Cultures can be a part of education,
But they mustn't be the basis of education.
Any force that claims to liberate the mind,
Must first liberate itself from all divide.”

“Throw away such education that teaches a child to be selfish - throw away such education that teaches a child to forget their passion - throw away such education that teaches a child to be like everybody else - throw away such education that produces second hand humans instead of raising original, conscientious beings of character.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Every Generation Needs Caretakers: The Gospel of Patriotism

“Great teaching is the ability to distinguish between what can and needs to be explained and what cannot be explained. The working of a computer needs to be explained as it is made by the human mind. But a butterfly need not always be explained. A butterfly has to be seen with gleaming eyes of wonder as it is a natural expression of life and not of the mind. Great teaching is more like a craft than a technique. To evoke the curiosity in the learner, to care for the learner and to take the learner on a journey of discovery are some of the most critical elements of this craft.”

“If you want quiet in the class, join a monastery of bald-headed corpses. Students don't learn by keeping quiet, they learn by actively engaging in the conversation. So, don't try to control your students. If you are teaching right, you'll be in control.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neden Türk: The Gospel of Secularism

“It is a selfish - selfish world - you know why - because nature teaches selfishness, parents teach selfishness, teachers teach selfishness - and by the time a child full of human potential grows up to be an adult, they are no longer human, they end up as modern savage in fancy rags.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Şehit Sevda Society: Even in Death I Shall Live

“The world needs character-building education, not puppet-producing education.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier

“Good teachers make good citizens.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“Never force your kids to be toppers,
Toppers never change the world.
Instill a sense of curiosity instead,
so they can dare to find unfound answers.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown
