    WordTalk is a powerful free tool that ought to be on every computer in every school where Microsoft Word is installed on a Windows computer! This is a tool that has the potential to benefit ALL learners, especially any who struggle with reading or writing. I'm adding WordTalk to my list of Extra Special Learning Resourses.  WordTalk is a high quality free add-in that provides convenient, versatile and customizable text-to-speech for any document written or opened in Microsoft Word. It works in every version of MS Word, from Word 97 through Word 2010; and it's available to run on every version of Windows from Windows 98 through Windows 7.

  • The people who concentrate wealth don't do things just out of the goodness of their hearts for the most part, but in order to maintain their position of dominance and then extend their power.
  • One can at least be suspicious that skyrocketing student debt is a device of indoctrination. It's very hard to imagine that there's any economic reason for it. Other countries' education is free, like Mexico's, and that is a poor country.
  • There are a lot of factors. And one of them, probably, is just that students are trapped.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Your future depends on it; my salary depends on it.
  • until I got to Central High, I literally didn't know I was a good student, because the question never came up.
  • There were tests, but they just gave information about what's going on. This is something we ought to be doing better.
  • "How can mosquitoes fly in the rain?" And then, but why is there a problem? Well, you study the force of the raindrop hitting a mosquito - it's like a person being hit by a locomotive.
  • It doesn't matter how much you learn in school; it's whether you learn how to go on and do things by yourself.
  • Control from above, control by the administrators. No respect for the working person, whether it's a teacher or machinist.
  • Kids are naturally creative, and of course, you don't have to beat it out of them. That's why they're asking, "Why?" all the time.
  • You can't let teachers control the classroom. That's teaching to test; then the teachers are disciplined. They do what you tell them. Their salaries depend on it; their jobs depend on it. They become sociopaths like everyone else. And you have a society where it's only, "Look after me; I'll forget everyone else."

    Best read of the day. "It doesn't matter how much you learn in school; it's whether you learn how to go on and do things by yourself."
