SHIRLEY HUFSTEDLER

If you haven't failed, you haven't tried very hard.

The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people.

I empathize with those who yearn for a simpler world, for some bygone golden age of domestic and international tranquility. But for the mass of humanity it is an age that never was.

Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risk.

I’m bilingual. I speak English and I speak educationese.

If you play it safe in life you've decided that you don't want to grow any more.

The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher, America entrusts her most precious resource, her children; and asks that they be prepared... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society.

Rapid acquisition of English should be the paramount goal of any immigrant language instruction program.

The rhythm of life is intricate but orderly, tenacious but fragile. To keep that in mind is to build the key to survival.

Immigration is not without economic costs. Those costs fall most heavily on some Americans who have the fewest resources to bear them …. Workers with less than twelve years of education are the most adversely affected by low-skilled immigrant workers.
