Education Quote
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.Aristotle quote
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.Abuse of circus elephants
Synthian Sharp and Tim Gorski discuss the making of the movie about circus elephants, elephant trekking, and the use of elephants in the entertainment industry, "How I Became an Elephant."
The video, which details the abuse of elephants in Asia, follows 14 year old Juliette West as she assists in the rescue of a female elephant which has been disabled as a result of the abuse she suffered at the hands of elephant trainers and breeders.
Before you take your children to the circus, you should be aware that circuses can ONLY get elephants to do tricks like elephant painting and other performances, by breaking them through horrific abuse first.
John Dewey - Education Quote
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.
Education Quote - Desmond Tutu
Inclusive, good-quality education is a foundation for dynamic and equitable societies.
Michelle Obama Quote on Education
"I come here as a mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world - they're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future - and all our children's future - is my stake in this election."
