Here class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes which they are tested on. What is missing it seems to me is the use of knowledge the practical training.

I have witnessed how education opens doors and I know that when sound instruction takes place students experience the joys of new-found knowledge and the ability to excel.

That was really so upsetting when you are trying to pass on some very serious knowledge and be basically treated worse than a student coming off the street because his father pays the tuition. Come on. Give me a break. This is no school. This is a joke.

I have a great advantage over many of my colleagues inasmuch as my students bring with them to class their own personal knowledge of national regional religious ethnic occupational and family folklore traditions.

More students have a better knowledge of pop culture than of the Constitution.

Medical knowledge and technical savvy are biodegradable. The sort of medicine that was practiced in Boston or New York or Atlanta fifty years ago would be as strange to a medical student or intern today as the ceremonial dance of a !Kung San tribe would seem to a rock festival audience in Hackensack.

Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.

I'm a student of world religion so to me it's hugely important to have knowledge and to understand what people are doing.

If you imagine someone with 100 percent determination and 100 percent intelligence you can discard a lot of intelligence before they stop succeeding. But if you start discarding determination you very quickly get an ineffectual and perpetual grad student.

I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks to do what they were most afraid of doing to widen their horizons of action.
