“Time Wastes Too Fast” or “Maira Kalman goes to Monticello”
But to go to school in a summer morn, -
O it drives all joy away!
Under a cruel eye outworn,
The little ones spend the day
In sighing and dismay.
The Schoolboy, William Blake
“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”
“ Childhood is a branch of cartography.
Michael Chabon, “Manhood for Amateurs: The Wilderness of Childhood”
