I find some of Stephen Heppell very quotable. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard him say he really gets me thinking. The following may paraphrase him (check the video for the horse’s mouth version). “Being part of a community is important but everyone looking the same and acting the same is disastrous.”

Other favourites:

“Bits of paper are worthless!”

“A school"s policy should be: ‘We could so do this’ “.

“We don"t know how good or children can be – let"s find out.”

“Learning can inoculate children against poverty”

“Being part of a community is important but everyone looking the same and acting the same is disastrous.”
