“Sadly, the biggest consequence of the reformers‟ false belief that 20th-century education can be made to work if only it‟s better-implemented has been the serious, continual, and unwarranted attacks on our two most valuable educational resources: our 55 million students, who are our future, and the 3 million adults who courageously choose to teach them. Talk about bullying! These are the people we should be nurturing and helping, rather than beating up.” 

"…what the old education asks and mandates of them – that is, to “cover” the curriculum and raise test scores. The teachers I talk to are enormously frustrated by the fact that, while seeing that what they‟re told to do is not succeeding, they are handcuffed from doing anything else. If we take off those handcuffs and provide a better alternative, most teachers will, I believe, be eager to implement it. " Marc Prensky
