This signs neatly illustrates the (mis-) use of quotation marks for emphasis.
This quotation comes from the Ontario math curriculum and points out, for me, that math instruction needs to be investigative. If math teachers simply teach concept after concept until the next unit test, the students will only remember the material until the next unit test.
But if students are challenged by a real life problem, that needs to be investigated and the math needed to solve the problem needs to be understood to help, then deeper understanding would occur.

Photographs in this collection have been produced by Heather Do, Connor Rowe, Kathleen Markham, Alison Lowrie, Kenneth Chiu, Katie Salmond, Diana Chavez, Elena Toffalori, Ashley Vink, Aimee O'Dea, Liz Dolinar, Allison Barden, Justine Khoury, Daniela Alaniz-Roux, and Justin Thach at the request of Michael Ashley for the UC Berkeley Anthropology 136e class, Spring 2011. The purpose was to digitally document the cultural heritage of City Lights Bookstore to show the cultural and spatial relations between City Lights and Vesuvio Café. The images were intentionally framed and shot to show the close connection of the two places.
City Lights Bookstore (Latitude 37.79771, Longitude -122.40647) is located in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco at the Broadway and Columbus intersection. Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin founded City Lights Books in 1953. They created the first all-paperback bookstore in the United States. Today, it is known as “one of the few truly independent bookstores in the United States” where people come to witness what is described as a “Literary Landmark (City Lights).” The bookstore was popular with the “beatnik” generation and the legacy of anti-authoritarian politics and insurgent thinking can still be felt today. While the area around the bookstore has changed, there continues to be a strong beatnik influence in the store as seen in the types of books offered. The store has expanded since opening in 1953, and now offers three floors of new-release hardcovers and paperbacks. In 2001, City Lights was dedicated as a historic landmark. Today, Ferlinghetti co-owns the store with Nancy Peters.

Description written by Katie Salmond and Kenneth Chiu, following Addison’s proposed virtual heritage metadata format in his chapter “The Vanishing Virtual” in New Heritage: New Media and Cultural Heritage, edited by Kalay, et al., and published by Routledge in 2007.

This detail is one of several quotations at the sculptural work "Transcending," which was presented to the city of Detroit at its 300th birthday. Someone should have reminded Governor Rick Snyder of this sentiment before he signed the recent "right-to-work" bill.
This Maslow quotation made visual here was inspired by Scott McLeod's blog post found here: dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2013/03/which-students-dont-get...
It is also very much related to the work of Carol Dweck, fixed v. growth mindsets:

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more. This explains why adding the numbers of the 57 individual categories bears no relation to the actual total of the above 160 women included in Blouse Roumaine.

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. -- Albert Einstein
Take a deep breath, it calms the mind.
Only 10 minutes easy walk from my home is a peaceful and un-spoilt natural wetland, bush reserve. It is situated right in the middle of one of Masterton's residential area and at a busy road junction.
Except for the background traffic sound, one could be in the middle of our bush, miles form anywhere.
It only takes 10 minutes ( 1 hour with a camera) to walk around this wild-life paradise, but the native trees, grasses and birds to be seen are intense.

Quotation from Chairman Mao: We must still run colleges. Here I must stress that we should still run physics and engineering colleges, but the period of schooling ought to be shortened, the education revolutionized, proletarian politics put in command, and the way of training technical personnel from the ranks of the workers advocated by the Shanghai Machine-Tool Factory adopted. Students must be selected from workers and peasants with practical experience, and after their study at school for several years they should return to practical production.

"Nothing belongs to us anymore.
They have taken away our clothes,
our shoes, even our hair.
If we speak, they will not listen to us.
And if they listen, they will not understand.
They have even taken away our names.
My number is 174517. I will carry the tattoo on my left arm until I die."
I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much. www.amazon.com/Journal-Women-Questions-Motivational-Disco...
So many people with privilege are feeling oppressed when in actual fact they are experiencing other people gaining equity.
