“We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature’s inexhaustible sources of energy--sun, wind and tide. I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”
― Thomas Edison

“Finding the solution to a hundred problems will not yield the same understanding as writing a program to solve those same problems.”
― Sam Patterson, Programming in the Primary Grades: Beyond the Hour of Code

“Training your students to use each other as a resource keeps them actively involved in problem solving. When students are talking with each other about a problem, they are both learning. When a student has a hand raised, staring at the busy teacher and waiting for help, the learning has stopped. The classroom is not a theme park; no one should be waiting in line to learn.”
― Sam Patterson, Programming in the Primary Grades: Beyond the Hour of Code

“There is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations”

“...if you are not like everybody else, then you are abnormal, if you are abnormal , then you are sick. These three categories, not being like everybody else, not being normal and being sick are in fact very different but have been reduced to the same thing”
― Michel Foucault
