“The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and math...” — Ken Robinson Quote

The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student's education.

Whether or not you discover your talents and passions is partly a matter of opportunity. If you've never been sailing, or picked up an instrument, or tried to teach or to write fiction, how would you know if you had a talent for these things?

Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it's not random.

The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.

I cannot live without books.

Education is the mother of leadership.

But I like going to church. If you've been brought up in the Church of England, it feels like visiting an elderly relative. And I think it's important that part of the kids' education is knowing about the Bible.

I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.

To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes.
