More From Karl Popper

There's a tree that grows in brooklyn. some people call it the tree of heaven. no matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree which struggles to reach the sky. it grows in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. it grows up out of cellar gratings. it is the only tree that grows out of cement. it grows lushly . . . survives without sun, water, and seemingly without earth. it would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it.
Beautiful Growing Up Struggle
Moss grows where nothing else can grow. it grows on bricks. it grows on tree bark and roofing slate. it grows in the arctic circle and in the balmiest tropics; it also grows on the fur of sloths, on the backs of snails, on decaying human bones. ... it is a resurrection engine. a single clump of mosses can lie dormant and dry for forty years at a stretch, and then vault back again into life with a mere soaking of water.
Lying Years Circles
Be proud of your mistakes. well, proud may not be exactly the right word, but respect them, treasure them, be kind to them, learn from them. and, more than that, and more important than that, make them. make mistakes. make great mistakes, make wonderful mistakes, make glorious mistakes. better to make a hundred mistakes than to stare at a blank piece of paper too scared to do anything wrong.

Mistake Numbers Agriculture
I think what grows the economy is when you get that tax credit that we put in place for your kids going to college. i think that grows the economy. i think what grows the economy is when we make sure small businesses are getting a tax credit for hiring veterans who fought for our country. that grows our economy.
Country Kids Thinking
To begin with, our knowledge grows in spots. the spots may be large or small, but the knowledge ever grows all over... what you first gain from them is probably a small amount of new information, a few new definitions, or distinctions, or points of view. but while these special ideas are being added, the rest of your knowledge stands still, and only gradually will you 'line up' your previous opinions with the novelties i am trying to instil, and modify to some slight degree their mass.

Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.
Educational Learning Creativity
It's relatively simple. if we're not getting more, better, faster than they are getting more, better, faster, then we're getting less, no better or more worse.

Today's child is bewildered when he enters the 19th century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and structured by fragmented, classified patterns subjects, and schedules.
Children Educational Schedules
For every fresh stage in our lives we need a fresh education, and there is no stage for which so little educational preparation is made as that which follows the reproductive period.
