Nathan M. Pusey quotes
-
“The close observer soon discovers that the teacher's task is not to implant facts but to place the subject to be learned in front of the learner and, through sympathy, emotion, imagination, and patience, to awaken in the learner the restless drive for answers and insights which enlarge the personal life and give it meaning.”
-- Nathan M. Pusey -
“We live in a time of such rapid change and growth of knowledge that only he who is in a fundamental sense a scholar-that is, a person who continues to learn and inquire-can hope to keep pace, let alone play the role of guide.”
-- Nathan M. Pusey -
“If there is anything education does not lack today it is critics.”
-- Nathan M. Pusey
