- We can’t drag this out. Stop demanding pilot projects and overhaul the system.
- (Classrooms) need to get updated.
- Technology is not the answer.
- If I (forty-something) am able help my children with Their homework, then there may be something wrong.
- Today I don’t need to know everything I just need to know how to find what I need to know.
- There is a disconnect between what we’re doing in school and what we need for life.
- Change is going to happen. Are we going to anticipate the change and facilitate it, or are we going to wait and try to rebuild in the chaos that ensues.
- Drop the text books and give (them) laptops. Textbooks are lousy.
- Give a sabatical to all teachers to make themselves an expert in some area that could be used by the school (leaning theory, etc.)
- Teachers talk about lifelong learning, but they are not willing to practice it (lots of paraphrasing)
