“Best marks go to cheaters and memorizers. Marks depend on memorizing and not on real knowledge. When you cram information into your head for a test you may get a high mark but forget it the next day. That's not an education. I suggest writing just Good and Bad on report cards at the end of the term. Or maybe nothing.” –Bel Kaufman, "Up the Down Staircase," 1964

It's Bel Kaufman's birthday!
Let's celebrate by educating ourselves and younger generations that knowledge and wisdom are earned - and that earning them is so worth it.
