“We can best help children learn, not by
deciding what we think they should learn
and thinking ingenious ways to teach it to
them, but by making the world as far as
we can, accessible to them, paying
serious attention to what they do,
answering their questions – if they have
any – helping them explore the things
they are most interested in”
JOHN HOLT
