I’m not too worried about that. I am a big believer in modeling.  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) Technology will eventually destroy the way schools are run now  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) I’ll tell you what the real problem is: These people are working under the assumption that they know better about what is good for kids, what kids need to learn to get ahead in this world.  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) I followed the rules, and I was a high achiever  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources; many of them have computers at home, for instance, or their friends have them.  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) In traditional schools, you’re penalized for making a mistake. But that won’t work in the new information culture, in the digital world we live in today.  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) I’m not too worried about that. I am a big believer in modeling  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) Just the concept of personal freedom within a democracy, for instance, is a relatively young idea - only about 300 years old in this country.  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) Whenever culture has gone through a radical change, as ours has - from industrial age to information age - there are people who will deny that things have changed; they resist it and refuse to change.  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) But, if you observe children learning in their first few years of life, you can see that they can and do learn on their own - we leave them alone to crawl, walk, talk, and gain control over their bodies. It happens without much help from parents  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) So, I see technology as a Trojan Horse: It looks like a wonderful thing, but they are going to regret introducing it into the schools because it simply can’t be controlled  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources; many of them have computers at home, for instance, or their friends have them  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) When kids play, they are working on imagining the kind of world we live in  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) And they understand that to be an effective member of a democracy, you have to accept responsibility  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) We’ve been doing this here since 1968, so we have been identified as an example of a free, democratic school, and many professors want to expose their students to our philosophy  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts, some are craftsmen, some take a little time out to travel, and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) In traditional schools, you’re penalized for making a mistake. But that won’t work in the new information culture, in the digital world we live in today  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) If you watch young children play, you will notice that they create games, characters, situations, whole worlds in which they immerse themselves with intense concentration  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) I’ll tell you what the real problem is: These people are working under the assumption that they know better about what is good for kids, what kids need to learn to get ahead in this world  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) I think people with open minds will observe the way we do things and realize that our goal is to have successful, happy, productive adults, and they will take our ideas and implement them elsewhere for their own children  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes) But, neither of these educational scenarios worked for us, so when we started a family, we wanted a different school for our children. And the other founders felt the same way  (Daniel Greenberg Quotes)
