  • There seems to be some confusion in several places on the net about whether you have to “cite” (the way some students say acknowledge) clip art or not in a paper. This question has arisen because the writer cannot find a rule in their style guide about it, or because they see many others using clip art without noting the source.

  • According to one estimate, if the numbers of young people leaving school early could be cut by 50 percent, the net gain to the U.S. economy from savings in social programs and gains in additional tax revenues could be around $90 billion a year - that's almost $1 trillion in just over ten years.
  • One of the themes of TEDTalks Education is that current policies are based on a tragic misdiagnosis of the problem. They treat education as an industrial process rather than as a human one. They are driven by a culture of testing and standardization that has narrowed the curriculum and sees students as data points and teachers as functionaries rather than as living breathing people.
  • To improve our schools, we have to humanize them and make education personal to every student and teacher in the system.
  • The key to personalizing education is to invest properly in the professional development of educators. As Bill Gates argues, teachers need mentors too.

  • There are those who say that we can't afford to personalize education to every student. The fact is that we can't afford not to.
