I feel that I learned far more from my students than I could possibly have taught them. – Arno Penzias
When I’m introduced at invited lectures at other universities, the students place a Bobo doll by the lectern. From time to time, I have been asked to autograph one. The Bobo doll has achieved stardom in psychological circles. – Albert Bandura
Evolutionary psychology has often been a field whose most prominent practitioners get embroiled in controversy – witness the 2010 case of Harvard professor Marc Hauser, whose graduate students came forward to say he’d been faking evidence for years. – Annalee Newitz
In my introductory course, Anthropology 160, the Forms of Folklore, I try to show the students what the major and minor genres of folklore are, and how they can be analyzed. – Alan Dundes
I removed ‘cyberspace’ from my vernacular. The idea, which I grew up with, of going into a place separate from the real world, is something my students just don’t recognise. – Clay Shirky
A certain number of Americans are already in Peking and most of us here feel that it would be very useful for the United States and especially for the Left-wing progressive movement in the United States if groups of students such as you mention could make a tour of China. – Anna Louise Strong
In K-12, almost everybody goes to local schools. Universities are a bit different because kids actually do pick the university. The bizarre thing, though, is that the merit of university is actually how good the students going in are: the SAT scores of the kids going in. – Bill Gates
I listened to the students on campus in Plymouth, worried about their steadily deepening debts and how on earth they would ever escape them. – Charles Kennedy
When you’re teaching a hard concept and the students all have puzzled looks on their faces and then suddenly you can see that ‘aha’ moment, that they got it, that’s just an incredible thing. – Anant Agarwal
You can be a lender who wants to compete and have a better product, but you just can’t get to the students. The schools are controlling the access to the students. – Andrew Cuomo
I’m always telling my students, don’t – don’t worry so much third person, first person. It doesn’t make that much difference. – Alice McDermott
The scramble to get into college is going to be so terrible in the next few years that students are going to put up with almost anything, even an education. – Barnaby C. Keeney
When we go out to the university, the professors always say, ‘Tell these students about your five-year plan and your 10-year plan,’ and I say, ‘Gee, we’re lucky if we have a year plan.’ – Bruce Nordstrom
VCE exams do not showcase students’ abilities. By this, I mean that the system fails to recognise the diversity of skills, and most subjects do not allow students to demonstrate skills in a form other than a written exam. – Alexandra Adornetto
To encourage more top-caliber students to choose teaching, teachers should be paid a lot more, with starting salaries more in the range of $60,000 and potential earnings of as much as $150,000. – Arne Duncan
If anything, I was the opposite of most college students who think they can do anything. – Annie Baker
When the students are occupied, they’re not juvenile delinquents. I believe that education is a capital investment. – Arlen Specter
Poorer students take out larger loans and will have to contribute more to the cost of higher education. – Anne Campbell
I have students who are now in chairs in five continents. They invite me to their inaugurals. A tremendous reward. – George Steiner
Professor Macleod, in his remarks, gave everything that I was going to say and used the pronoun ‘we’ throughout. The following day, students were talking about the remarkable work of Professor Macleod. – Frederick Banting
Teachers are expendable, overworked, underpaid, and many times disrespected by students, parents and higher-ups. Nonetheless, these teachers still show up because there are some who are teachers indeed. – Monica Johnson
Let’s face it: every campus has its share of students who can’t quite comprehend that extreme political correctness is often born of the same intolerance and anti-intellectualism as standard-issue bigotry. – Meghan Daum
I’m always telling my students that if they can’t explain what they are doing, to their grandmothers, then they probably don’t understand it themselves. – Gunter Blobel
Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004. On February 5, we were feeling pretty confident, even from observing the first few hours of usage. Students used it like crazy. They’d sign up then spend the next 3-4 hours on it. Then we’d go to lecture hall and see it on every computer screen there. – Dustin Moskovitz
Their families helped them realize that there was more out there for them. These students came to Delaware State because of its inexpensive tuition, closeness to home, and solid reputation. – Michael N. Castle
