Today's Class


“If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.” Orville Wright (1871-1948)


Orville Wright, who was one of the two “Wright Brothers.”

He launched into history with the first manned powered flight ushering in the era of manned aviation.


I just thought this made a really great connection to the Anyone article ! For students of the lower class to advance, it is the job of the teacher to go beyond the common misconception that they are not capable and will be doing a low-class job for life. What do you guys think?

  1. Great connection! You have to believe that no matter what social class someone is in, they can do anything they put their mind to. I really like the quote :)
