• When schools truly become centers of the community, where you have extraordinary teachers, the best teachers, the best principals, great nonprofit partners coming in during the non-school hours to support and do enrichment activities, social services, then those students will beat the odds, will beat poverty, will beat violence in the community, will beat sometimes dysfunctional families, and be productive citizens long term. They will go to college.

  28 Copy quote

• Suffering is our best teacher because it
  hangs onto us and keeps us in its grip
  until we have learnt that particular
  lesson. Only then does suffering let go. If
  we haven’t learnt our lesson, we can be
  quite sure that the same lesson is going
  to come again, because life is nothing but
  an adult education class, If we don’t pass
  in any of the subjects, we just have to sit
  the examination again. Whatever lesson
  we have missed, we will get it again. That
  is why we find ourselves reacting to
  similar situations in similar ways many
  times.

  Ayya Khema
