"The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done." Jean Pieget
"You are the stars, the world is watching you....the right to be anyone's neighbor..you have earned it...the right to play on anyone's field, you have earned it...." Eunice Kennedy Shriver
I really liked the excerpt from E. Shriver on Special Olympics and special needs children/adults. These children hold a special place in my heart and I believe that they are "stars that the world is watching."
I really like both your quotes. Especially the one about the goal of education. It really should be about doing new things, not repeating what is already been done. We can never move forward and mold our students into something great if thier education doesnt push them to do so.
