"When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course." ― Peter Drucker Topic(s): Education Tags: becomes, obsolete, subject, totally More From Peter Drucker "Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations… They now need more, and more expensive clerks even though they call them ‘operators’ or ‘programmers.’" "Never mind your happiness; do your duty." "No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings." More In Education "An arts education helps build academic skills and increase academic performance, while also providing alternative opportunities to reward the skills of children who learn differently."― Gavin Newsom "Do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? It is not to save time, but to squander it."― Jean-Jacques Rousseau "The institution of a public library, containing books on education, would be well adapted for the information of teachers, many of whom are not able to purchase expensive publications on those subjects."― Joseph Lancaster
