In the school gardens planting cabbage, peas, broccoli and more.

We destroy the love of learning in children, which is so strong when they are small, by encouraging and compelling them to work for petty and contemptible rewards, gold stars, or papers marked 100 and tacked to the wall, or A’s on report cards, or honor rolls, or dean’s lists, or Phi Beta Kappa keys, in short, for the ignoble satisfaction of feeling that they are better than someone else.

Is crocheting easy? Do you know of any good youtube tutorial channels or sites?

Crochet is absolutely easy! I taught myself using youtube videos by “crochet” (simple enough username) and about.com.

questions that are rambling around my head:

what does it mean to “educate”? what is the distinction between “teacher” and learner”? what are we teaching and what are we not teaching? what purpose does formal education serve? what is the ideal connection between teacher and student? why do we teach?

They do not teach you this in school. They do not show you the beauty of existing, they do not show you the wonder of the Earth, they do not show you the unity that human beings are. They show you who is better, who is worse. They show you what they need to show you in order for their system to survive. They do not show you love.
