"[The educator's] problem is to protect the spirit of inquiry, to keep it from becoming blase from over-excitement, wooden from routine, fossilized through dogmatic instruction or dissipated by random exercise upon trivial things."

  1. This is very interesting. I would like to take this concept to legislators and policy makers when they make decisions concerning K-12 school related matters with the intention of getting more attention to Early and Pre School programs in my state. A great deal of 'them' are currently not parents of young children nor have children in a K-12 system any longer.I have to wonder if that would have a more family friendly and positive outcomes.
