Jacques Barzun Quote

The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach a subject, one teaches a student how to learn it.


"Reasons to De-Test the Schools," New York Times (1988-10-11), later published in Begin Here: The Forgotten Conditions of Teaching and Learning (1991)


The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach a subject, one teaches a student how to learn it.

The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach a subject, one teaches a student how to learn it.

The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach a subject, one teaches a student how to learn it.

The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach a subject, one teaches a student how to learn it.
