Learning is not a spectator sport
Learning is not a spectator sport. - D. Blocher
For learning to take place with any kind of efficiency students must be motivated. To be motivated, they must become interested. And they become interested when they are actively working on projects which they can relate to their values and goals in life. - Gus Tuberville, President, William Penn College
The only kind of learning which significantly influences behavior is self-discovered or self-appropriated learning - truth that has been assimilated in experience. - Carl Rogers

I have to concur based on my own experience… as I reflect on how I felt about school vs how I feel now about my own learning and development! It’s right in line with another quote I just read actually:
TEACHERS who expect students to sit still and be quiet should teach trees. The human brain is wired for movement and speech—that is how we learn.
—Robert Sylwester
