John Katzman quotes about
school doe remember
You still remember your SAT scores. And everybody else does too. Everybody's forgotten everything about themselves, everything else about high school. They remember their SAT scores.
school college men
Why do men outperform women on the SAT? The SAT's supposed to predict college grades. Women do better in high school and they do better in college. What's the problem here? Ah, the more you use, the more you start accepting that the SAT's coachable, the more problems you have with it.
school quality peers
Traditionally, universities have seen size as potentially dilutive to quality. If you doubled the size of campus and faculty, most would argue that you would make it a less compelling school. However, online schools will be as good as their classroom peers only if they are large enough to afford a substantial and ongoing investment.
school technology cost-benefit-analysis
The Internet is the first technology since the printing press which could lower the cost of a great education and, in doing so, make that cost-benefit analysis much easier for most students. It could allow American schools to service twice as many students as they do now, and in ways that are both effective and cost-effective.

Americans have learned to trust free markets. Republican or Democrat, we believe the unimpeded exchange of goods and services will yield better solutions than five-year plans set by even the most well-meaning public servants.
alma-mater may internet
The Internet will save higher education, but it may kill your alma mater.
taken students sat
I'd never taken an SAT prep course. They were for weaker students.
thinking goal entrepreneur
I think a good entrepreneur has a very clear grasp of what the goal is, an unwavering sense of the goal, an utterly agile approach of getting there.
ceo hated company
I hated being a public company CEO.
educational discovery understanding
Exciting discoveries in neuroscience are allowing us to fit educational methods to new understandings of how the brain develops.

Almost everyone who has claimed to know what kids need to learn or how they learn has turned out to be wrong.
