“with all our teaching we train nobody...with all our instructing we educate nobody.”

1907-Woodrow Wilson

“Can you imagine a more grossly stupid, a more genuinely asinine system [of public education]…that is not only ineffective in its results, but also actually harmful in that it throws every year ninety three out of every one hundred children into the world of action absolutely unfitted for even the simplest tasks in life.”1916-The Ladies Home Journal

“The facts of the school crisis are all out and in plain sight and pretty dreadful to look at.
