Ted Sizer quotes

In the history of education, the most striking phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are alive with a ferment of genius, in a succeeding generation exhibit merely pedantry and routine. (Ted Sizer)
The first object of any act of learning, over and beyond the pleasure it may give, is that it should serve us in the future. Learning should not only take us somewhere; it should allow us later to go further more easily. View quote
Ted Sizer
Things remain the same because it is impossible to change very much without changing most of everything. View quote
