Top Chomsky Education Quotes

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

If you're teaching, say, physics, there's no point in persuading a student that you're right. You want to encourage them to find out what the truth is, which is probably that you're wrong. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Caroline Wozniacki

Young players are starting to come up as well and they will see me as one of the older, experienced ones. — Caroline Wozniacki

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

There is a social responsibility to take care of vulnerable people. It seems that a sensible social responsibility is obligatory education, but also decent education, and that is not happening. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

If you're independent-minded in school, you're probably going to get in trouble very early on. That's not the trait that's being preferred or cultivated. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

It makes sense for societies to make education compulsory for children. Children are vulnerable. They can't make decisions. But the decisions can't all be left in the hands of the parents. They can be irresponsible too. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Jill Scott

For anyone who feels they are overwhelmed by their job, or maybe they take their job too seriously or are working too hard, I say go to a safari, particularly the Okavango Delta, and just be humbled. — Jill Scott

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Education is not for profit. If you're not in education for profit, it's not going to be a fair critique for education. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Universities face a constant struggle to maintain their integrity, and their fundamental social role in a healthy society, in the face of external pressures. The problems are heightened with the expansion of private power in every domain, in the course of the state-corporate social engineering projects of the past several decades. . . . To defend their integrity and proper commitments is an honorable and difficult task in itself, but our sights should be set higher than that. Particularly in the societies that are more privileged, many choices are available, including fundamental institutional change, if that is the right way to proceed, and surely including scholarship that contributes to, and draws from, the never-ending popular struggles for freedom and justice. 5 Higher education is under attack not because it is failing, but because it is a potentially democratic public sphere. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Real education is about getting people involved in thinking for themselves- and that's a tricky business to know how to do well, but clearly it requires that whatever it is you're looking at has to somehow catch people's interest and make them want to think, and make them want to pursue and explore. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Education is a system of imposed ignorance. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Stu Weber

I must follow my Lord. No matter what. I must renew my allegiance every morning. It is His voice I must listen to, not the voices of those around me, however strident, however persuasive. It is His Word that must govern my life, not the words of others. God Himself has written a Book (think of it!) that must be the authority in my life. — Stu Weber

Chomsky Education Quotes By Tillie Cole

Mamaw also said that the best things in life die quickly, like the cherry blossom. Because something so beautiful can never last forever, shouldn't last forever. It stays for a brief moment in time to remind us how precious life is, before fading away just as quickly as it came. She said that it teaches you more in its short life than anything that is forever by your side. — Tillie Cole

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Most problems of teaching are not problems of growth but helping cultivate growth. As far as I know, and this is only from personal experience in teaching, I think about ninety percent of the problem in teaching, or maybe ninety-eight percent, is just to help the students get interested. Or what it usually amounts to is to not prevent them from being interested. Typically they come in interested, and the process of education is a way of driving that defect out of their minds. But if children['s] ... normal interest is maintained or even aroused, they can do all kinds of things in ways we don't understand. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The idea that you have to drop any thing that you might be interested in doing because you have to pass that test tomorrow and it's something that you're not interested in, that's just the opposite of education. It's also harming teaching, because the teachers are evaluated by the results of the test. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The other day I happened to be reading a careful, interesting account of the state of British higher education. The government is a kind of market-oriented government and they came out with an official paper, a 'White Paper' saying that it is not the responsibility of the state to support any institution that can't survive in the market. So, if Oxford is teaching philosophy, the arts, Greek history, medieval history, and so on, and they can't sell it on the market, why should they be supported? Because life consists only of what you can sell in the market and get back, nothing else. That is a real pathology. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The debt is being cynically exploited by the far right, with collusion of the Democrat establishment, to undermine what remains of social programs, public education, unions, and, in general, remaining barriers to corporate tyranny. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Sivananda

You should always keep your word. All the setbacks in life come only because you don't keep your word. — Sivananda

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Most schooling is training for stupidity and conformity, and that's institutional, but occasionally you get a spark, somebody'll challenge your mind, make you think and so on, and that has a tremendous effect you just reach all sorts of people. Of course if you do it you may very have problems, you have to tread the narrow line. There are plenty of people who don't want students to think, they're afraid of the crisis of democracy. If people start thinking you get all these problems that I quoted before. They won't have enough humility to submit to a civil rule or they'll start trying to press their demands in the political arena and have ideas of their own, instead of beleiving what they're told. And privelage and power typically doesn't want that and so they react and the high school teacher that tries to get students to think may find oppression, firing and so on. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Richard Thomas

Tolerate things that are wrong? No, thank you. — Richard Thomas

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The person who wins the Nobel Prize is not the person who read the most journal articles and took the most notes on them. It's the person who knew what to look for. And cultivating that capacity to seek what's significant, always willing to question whether you're on the right track - that's what education is going to be about, whether it's using computers and the Internet, or pencil and paper, or books. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Brian Eno

I believe in singing to such an extent that, if I were asked to redesign the British educational system, I would start by insisting that group singing becomes a central part of the daily routine. I believe it builds character and, more than anything else, encourages a taste for cooperation with others. — Brian Eno

Chomsky Education Quotes By E. Stanley Jones

Christ is everywhere and He is in me. What more do I want, except more of Him? — E. Stanley Jones

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Education is really aimed at helping students
get to the point
where they can learn on their own ... — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Mass education was designed to turn independent farmers into docile, passive tools of production. That was its primary purpose. And don't think people didn't know it. They knew it and they fought against it. There was a lot of resistance to mass education for exactly that reason. It was also understood by the elites. Emerson once said something about how we're educating them to keep them from our throats. If you don't educate them, what we call "education," they're going to take control - "they" being what Alexander Hamilton called the "great beast," namely the people. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Well, in fact if you look at the Trump voters, you take a look at their attitudes it's not all that different. In some respects they're similar. They're an older version of the Sanders people. So a lot of it is racist and you have that sort of thing, but if you look at their views on say health, education, and so on, it's kind of the same as Sanders. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Education doesn't determine how you earn, education determines how you spend. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Do you train for passing tests or do you train for creative inquiry? — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Michael K. Williams

Ending a television character that you've been, especially someone like Omar Little, it hurts. For me, it's a huge thing. You feel like a part of you is gone. — Michael K. Williams

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Mexico is a pretty poor country, but they are maintaining a free, high quality public education system, not for everyone of course but pretty substantial. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

In Mexico, a poor country, higher education is of quite good quality
and is free. Ten years ago the government tried to impose small fees. There was a national student strike and the government backed down. High tuition is not an economic necessity, as is easy to show, but a debt trap is a good technique of indoctrination and control. And resisting this makes good sense. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The rascal multitude are the proper targets of the mass media and a public education system geared to obedience and training in needed skills, including the skill of repeating patriotic slogans on timely occasions. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Clint Eastwood

Plagiarism is always the biggest thing in Hollywood. — Clint Eastwood

Chomsky Education Quotes By J.K. Rowling

How do you remember everything from different books when you are still writing the HP series? As obsessive fans will tell you, I do slip up! Several classrooms move floors mysteriously between books and these are the least serious continuity errors! Most of the fansites will point you in the direction of my mistakes. But the essentials remain consistent from book to book because the story has been plotted for a long time and it is clear in my mind. — J.K. Rowling

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The country that consistently ranks among the highest in educational achievement is Finland. A rich country, but education is free. Germany, education is free. France, education is free. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Tommy Chong

Boredom is a disease, too. — Tommy Chong

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The truth of the matter is that about 99 percent of teaching is making the students feel interestedin the material. Then the other 1 percent has to do with your methods. And that's not just true of languages. It's true of every subject. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The whole educational and professional training system is a very elaborate filter, which just weeds out people who are too independent, and who think for themselves, and who don't know how to be submissive, and so on
because they're dysfunctional to the institutions. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Education is imposed ignorance. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society. — Noam Chomsky

Chomsky Education Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way. — Noam Chomsky
