Bill Ayers Quotes About School

• What was on the agenda was school and social life and those kinds of things. So I was the middle of five kids. So I had the great advantage of being able to play up to the older kids and play down to the younger kids and I think that's part of what propelled me to become a teacher at some point in my life. But it was a comfortable childhood. It was a privileged childhood.

• Vivía en una burbuja, como he dicho, en un colchón de plumas de privilegios. Por eso salir de casa, dejar la escuela preparatoria e ir a la Universidad de Michigan a principios de los 60 fue un momento de despertar e ir a un lugar como Michigan y ver de repente un mundo en llamas y las injusticias que lo rodeaban fue toda una llamada de atención. Duré un año y medio en Michigan antes de abandonar los estudios y alistarme en la marina mercante, donde trabajé durante mi segundo año y luego regresé a Michigan.

• I was from my little perch in a prep school I saw the civil rights movement and it was defining the moral dimensions of the time and I was drawn to it and I read James Baldwin and read Invisible Man and these were my touch points. But it was when I got to Michigan and saw a bigger world, a real world, that I got involved.

• El hecho es que en mi escuela preparatoria, fui a un internado, 39 jóvenes se graduaron de esa escuela preparatoria. Cinco años después, una cuarta parte de nosotros estábamos en SDS, en Estudiantes por una Sociedad Democrática. No porque fuéramos especialmente elegidos o porque tuviéramos, como digo, suerte, pero sobre todo tuvimos la suerte de crecer en una época en la que este movimiento por la libertad de los negros estaba definiendo realmente el carácter moral de lo que significaba ser un ciudadano y una persona.

• When you go into a college of education you've got aspirations of making a difference in people's lives, of loving children, of working with kids, but none of that is affirmed in your college of education. Then you go working in schools, especially in places like New York City and Chicago that I'm most familiar with, and you find these huge aspirations are beaten out of you in a very systematic way - and still people persevere.
