Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000154489
Prom has all the elements of a popular story. It reeks of all-Americanness, tension, drama. It has romance. Pretty dresses. Dancing. Limos. High school. Coming of age. -- Adora Svitak

Ineffective substitute teaching is a problem that means thousands of hours of lost learning for America's students. It cannot be dismissed with a sigh and 'Just wait for the teacher to come back on Monday.' -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000219090
My parents homeschooled my sister and me for many years. Why? Because the local school insisted that I, being three, should go to preschool, and my sister, being five, should go to kindergarten. The problem? You learn your alphabet in preschool, and I was already reading chapter books. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000237249
The idea there were kids out there who didn't love to read and write just as much as I did struck me. So I went around schools and tried to make other kids love to read and write. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000260832

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000277516
If we all understood we can learn from both older and younger people, then we'd have a better world. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000327103
CEOs of top companies could probably use a dose of not-asking-for-raise behavior and less self-entitlement, rather than us trying to change girls in order to fit into the common mold of what we think a CEO looks like. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000358971
For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000374184
America, you're sending girls a mixed message. On one hand, you're saying to have positive body image and love who we are; on the other, we're being marketed makeup and clothing that obviously turns us into someone different. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000392680

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000397962

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000416872
To show that you truly care, you listen. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000443618
Learning between grown-ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000443670

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000455908
I do wear a lot of hats, and sometimes people get confused with all that I do, but one thing that I am extraordinarily passionate about is furthering women's rights. I think it's something that's incredibly important, not just for girls everywhere but also boys to get involved in. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000463809
The fact that a baby can be born today and condemned to a life of hardship, struggle, and discrimination simply because of sex is enraging. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000472957
None of my friends don't have Facebook accounts. Op-eds and studies can highlight our decreased enthusiasm for Facebook 'til the cows come home, but it doesn't change the fact that we are chained to the beast. Voluntarily, of course. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000524418
When I was little, I thought everyone in the world liked to read because it was so fun. But then I realised that was not exactly true. I want other kids to read and write more all over the world, because it helps them to understand things better. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000528232
The first thing anyone can do, about any issue, is get informed. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000540851

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000563888
The current concept of prom just seems so empty. Teenagers get dressed up to go to a dance at a fancy location. It encourages social inclusion or exclusion based on your ability or inability to snag a date. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000580207
To try to teach ignoring technology is to ignore the progress that we have made over the last century. If school is preparation for the real world - a real world that is increasingly technology-driven - then to ignore technology is to become obsolete. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000598059
I would say that kids are great in many ways, because I think that we are less hampered when it comes to 'this costs too much' or 'that's impossible'. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000605154
The traits the word 'childish' addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000701003

Let's abolish the term 'childish' because adults normally cause the largest problems. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000755285

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000891673

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 000915416

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001041193
The unsaid message of that endless rack of juniors' pushup bras? No matter what size you are, it still isn't good enough. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001045998

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001071503

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001102433
I think women should be more independent. In society, we're portrayed as people who simply wear make-up and sit around. We need a Princess Charming - a woman who rescues her man and slays the dragon instead of the other way round. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001102600
By creating so many illusory images of physical perfection, whether on store aisles or storefront ads, magazine covers or TV shows, we speak more to the profit margins of companies than the self-esteem of today's girls. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001111047
Since the age of four, I've been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001117289
We need to reward the 'thankless job' of substitute teaching with better pay and chances for permanent positions. I look forward to the day when no student comes home saying, 'I didn't learn much today ... we had a sub.' -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001127101
By bringing current events into the classroom, everyday discussion, and social media, maybe we don't need to wait for our grandchildren's questions to remind us we should have paid more attention to current events. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001209663

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001216659

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001340294
Young people are often asked, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and given advice about how to lead meaningful adult lives, but where's the encouragement to lead meaningful lives right now? -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001379244
I am writing to make sure that kids don't lose very important traits like curiosity that can drive social change because oftentimes I think parents emphasise more on doing well in school, which is important, but perhaps that sometimes comes at the cost of a child's natural curiosity. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001403429
In order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001426738

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001449214

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001467273

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001590034

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001600776

Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001652528
The point of my work is to make it clear that all youth can make 'big miracles' happen. -- Adora Svitak
Adora Svitak Quotes : pic 001652529
