Madeline Levine

Eleanor Roosevelt
“Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.”
Eleanor Roosevelt

John Medina
“If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom.

And if you wanted to change things, you might have to tear down both and start over.”
John Medina, Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School

Albert Einstein
“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”
Albert Einstein

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”
