Classroom Style

Famous quotes containing the words classroom and/or style:

“Children learn and remember at least as much from the context of the classroom as from the content of the coursework.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

“We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
