The latter is a much deeper, more personal loss in that one is admittedly whispering to himself his lack of competence. His cheating then begets more cheating, as he is ever-privately, ever-subconsciously insulting himself; thus, gradually deteriorating any remaining confidence.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["academics","cheating","cliche","college","confidence","dignity","exams","games","honesty","honor","honor-code","insecurity","insult","integrity","losing","lying","mental","noble","personal","psychology","quizzes","school","sin","sincerity","sports","subliminal","subsconscious","tests","whisper","winning"],"id":22420,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Schooling that children are forced to endure—in which the subject matter is imposed by others and the “learning” is motivated by extrinsic rewards and punishments rather than by the children’s true interests—turns learning from a joyful activity into a chore, to be avoided whenever possible. Coercive schooling, which tragically is the norm in our society, suppresses curiosity and overrides children’s natural ways of learning. It also promotes anxiety, depression and feelings of helplessness that all too often reach pathological levels.","author":"Peter Gray","tags":["academics","alternative","children","coercion","education","freedom","homeschooling","indoctrination","kids","learn","learning","liberty","prussian-education-system","state-schools","unschooling","voluntaryism"],"id":27563,"author_id":"Peter+Gray"},{"text":"Knowledge was scattered treasure, education organized it into art, commerce and science.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["academics","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri-writer","art","artist","bargain","business","commerce","creativity","education","inspirational","knowledge","money","motivational","one-liners","organized","philosophy","scatter","school","science","scientists","slogans","tag-line","teaching","technology","trade","treasure","wisdom"],"id":31672,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"I have never compromised on academics and the one thing that I insist on is good grades, even though I am a relaxed and indulgent parent in most other things.","author":"Preeti Shenoy","tags":["academics","parenthood"],"id":35691,"author_id":"Preeti+Shenoy"},{"text":"Being genius does not necessarily means knowing it all or having the highest academic qualification but a persons ability to apply wisdom and common sense to common things in a distinctive manner and courageously exhibiting the latent deft to the admiration of the masses.","author":"Ernest Agyemang Yeboah","tags":["academics","courage","deft","genius","purpose"],"id":36542,"author_id":"Ernest+Agyemang+Yeboah"},{"text":"Education makes your maths better, not necessarily your manners.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["academics","adage","advertisement","alliterations","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri-writer","arrogance","behaviour","book-writing","catch-lines","catchphrases","characters","classroom","coaching","creative-writing","education","ego","essay","inspirational","knowledge","manners","math","mathematics","motivational","movie","movie-dialogue","novel-writing","parents","philosophy","proverbs","public-speaking","quotes","rhetoric","school","script","script-writing","scriptwriting","speech","speechwriting","story","student","tag-lines","teacher","tutions","wisdom","writing"],"id":53836,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"Through most of human history, our ancestors had children shortly after puberty, just as the members of all nonhuman species do to this day. Whether we like the idea or not, our young ancestors must have been capable of providing for their offspring, defending their families from predators, cooperating with others, and in most other respects functioning fully as adults. If they couldn't function as adults, their young could not have survived, which would have meant the swift demise of the human race. The fact that we're still here suggests that most young people are probably far more capable than we think they are. Somewhere along the line, we lost sight of – and buried – the potential of our teens.","author":"Robert Epstein","tags":["academics","adolescence","corruption","creativity","discrimination","education","fixing-education","history","memory","millennials","personal-growth","personal-responsibility","prejudice","pressure","psychiatry","psychology","rights","school","school-reform","science","stress","teenagers","teens","youth","youth-culture"],"id":55778,"author_id":"Robert+Epstein"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":42,"pages":5,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
