Famous quotes containing the words students and/or learn:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
““Walk a mile in my shoes” is good advice. Our children will learn to respect others if they are used to imagining themselves in another’s place.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
