"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers.  You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers-so many caring people in this world.”

         “Let us not judge our students simply on what they know.  That is the philosophy of the quiz    programme.  Rather let them be judged on what they can generate from what they know-

               how well they can leap the barrier from learning to thinking.”
