Marva Collins School Quotations

Kids don't fail. Teachers fail, school systems fail. The people who teach children that they are failures, they are the problem.

There is a brilliant child locked inside every student.

Praise is essential in developing the right attitude toward learning and toward school.

None of you has ever failed. School may have failed you. Goodbye to failure, children. Welcome to success.

The textbook business is more than a billion-dollar-a-year industry and some of its biggest profits come from 'audio-visual aids' - flash cards, tape cassettes, and filmstrips. No wonder the education industry encourages schools to focus on surface education.
