Teachers should teach nothing.
Students should learn nothing.
Students should know nothing.Nothing is worth teaching.

—Nothing Matters
Read the whole thing — I’ve had students stop after the first section, but the whole page expresses a single unified thought that develops from the first “Nothing Matters” section.
I’ve blogged this before. It’s too bad so many links are dead, but this page was first posted in 1996. Steve, maybe this will help!
