Handbook for teachers in Human Values Education by Dr. Ron and Suwanti Farmer. Quotes II

-The link between education and jobs has to be broken. Education should be for life and not for a living. It should prepare youth for all the responsibilities of citizenship. Sathya Sai Baba
-Education should help make students the embodiments of Human Values such as Truth, Love, Right Conduct, Peace and Non-Violence. Academic knowledge alone is of no great value. It may help one to learn a livelihood. But education should go beyond preparation for earning a living. It should prepare one for the challenges of life morally and spiritually. It is because Human Values are absent in 'educated' persons that we find them steeped in anxiety and worry. Sathya Sai Baba
-The schools in India, Thailand and Zambia who were the first to apply the Human Values Education model soon found that, by assigning a higher priority to the development of good character than to academic attainment, scholastic performance reached above the levels being achieved in the mainstream schools where the teaching of values was being neglected.
-Values-based schooling enhances academic diligence and performance along with student and teacher well being.
-Education should imbue students with certain ideals. They should realize that there is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one language, the language of the heart. Sathya Sai Baba.
-We identified 10 values that underpin all successful communities: courage, justice, resilience, compassion, responsibility, respect, humility, gratitude, civility and integrity. These values are embedded in our daily practice and form the basis of teacher and student interactions. They are explicitly and implicitly taught through role modelling, inclusion in trans-disciplinary units, discussion, guided reflection and timely consideration of daily interactions...
Most important is that I live the values every minute of every day... Even though it would be easier at times to compromise one of the values we promote, I never do. They guide every decision. Cherylyin Skewes.
-No one grows simply by doing what someone else forces us to do. We begin to grow when finally we want to grow.
-The key to excellence is this: it is born from a culture... A culture of excellence transcends race, class, and geography; it doesn't matter what color, income or background children come from. Once  those children enter a culture with a powerful ethic, that ethic becomes their norm. It's what they know.
