  1. #Chess is an amazing game. I attribute my #devotion to chess prior to entering #CompTech as one of my primary reasons for success. To win at chess against better and better players requires great attention. And a #willingness to tell the #truth. Good and bad. All of the moves can be seen, right?

  2. "The paradox of education is precisely this — that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. What societies really, ideally, want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society."

    James Baldwin to teachers in 1963: richgibson.com/talktoteachers.

  7. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    The National Security Strategy defines terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against innocents” (p. 5). This is truly a distinct kind of violence, but to imply by the word “terrorism” that this sort of terror is the work exclusively of “terrorists” is misleading. The “legitimate” warfare of technologically advanced nations likewise is premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against innocents. The distinction between the intention to perpetrate violence against innocents, as in “terrorism,” and the willingness to do so, as in “war,” is not a source of comfort.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Essay (2003-02-09), “A Citizen’s Response,” sec. 1, paid advertisment, New York Times

  17. When a growth mindset environment emerges, “equality happens”.

    Carol Dweck tells a story of a Chicago high school that distributed “Not Yet” grades instead of failing grades.
    Carol Dweck relates the power of “yet”: When students see the word "yet", they build confidence to continue and persist with their learning, making mistakes and working from them.
    Here is the TED talk by Carol Dweck on "the power of believing that you can improve": ted.com/talks/carol_dweck_the_

    "What makes the ‘#growth mentality’ so appealing, Carol Dweck discovered, is that it creates a passion for learning rather than this thirst for approval. Its hallmark is the belief that human qualities like intelligence and creativity, and even relational capacities like love and friendship, can be cultivated through effort and practice. Not only are people with this mindset not discouraged by failure, they don't actually see themselves as failures in these situations, they see themselves as learners."

  24. Every time we make a mistake, our brain opens to #learning.
    National schools humiliate children. A motivation is that its role is to justify the social status assigned to each.
    Other forms of learning, on the other hand, have no meritocratic mission: children can learn for themselves.
