We learn by reflecting on what has happened. The process seldom works in reverse, although most educational processes assume that it does. We hope that we can teach people how to live before they live, or how to manage before they manage.
We must love one another or die
I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.
Never help a child with a task that they feel they can complete themselves.
