Alfie Kohn Quote
A growing number of educational theorists over the last couple of decades have made the point that facts come and go, while what endures, what we really require, is the ability to look up facts, to interpret them, to connect one with another, and to analyze their importance. Like the old adage Give someone a fish, he eats for a day; teach him how to fish, he eats for a lifetime, it is the capacity to acquire and use information that lasts longer and matters more than the information itself.
