Over 100 years ago, in a newspaper interview (NY Herald 1913), Thomas Edison predicted the mess of today’s schooling in America:

The trouble with our way of educating as generally followed is that it does not give elasticity to the mind.

It casts the brain into a mold.

It insists that the child must accept.

It does not encourage original thought,reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory than on observation.

The result of accepting unrelated facts fosters conservatism, the closing of the mind to new ideas.

It breeds fear, and from fear comes ignorance.

While Edison criticized most of American schooling, which he called “a relic of past ages [that] consists of parrot-like repetition,” he was a big fan of Montessori education:

It teaches through play.

It makes learning a pleasure.

It follows the natural instincts of the human being.

Clearly, Thomas Edison knew what he was talking about 🙂

Happy birthday to Edison — born February 11, 1847 — a man who helped light up our world, literally with his invention and figuratively by championing great education. 💡❤️

The teacher must undertake a twofold study: she must have a good knowledge of the work she is expected to do and of the function of the material,
that is, of the means of a child's development.
It is difficult to prepare such a teacher theoretically.
She must fashion herself,
she must learn how to observe,
how to be calm, patient, and humble, how to restrain her own impulses, and how to carry out her eminently practical tasks with the required delicacy.
She too has greater need of a gymnasium for her soul than of a book for her intellect. ”

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.”

-Martin Luther King, Jr.
