"One of the most important effects of the study of a subject should be the development of a spirit of inquiry. The ability to ask real questions is more useful than the capacity to answer simple ones."  

--Raymond Harris

Remember, children will learn in spite of us.  Don’t loose the heart of the child.  Teach to the child, not a curriculum.

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. "
 -- William Butler Yeats

"We have reached a place in the history of Western Culture where we've got to raise children to be prepared for a situation which is no longer sharply defined in terms of functions and tasks. We have got to raise children who can deal with the unknown. "

 -- Daniel Greenberg, in "Child Rearing"
