“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.”
“I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old.” Stanley Kubrick |

Zafo, I agree completely. That first quote sounds a lot like Monty Roberts ... My latest favourite: "Of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most." -- Ozzy Ozbourne

Quote:
And to stay on-topic and elaborate on the subject of fear: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear. Frank Herbert - Dune

One of my senior professors said this on Corporate Economics class: "This morning, an ugly old man came up to me on the street, and he explicitly wanted to tell me what he thinks about the nations's economic problems...that's when I started to feel sorry for you guys..."

How did I ever mistake DakaSha for a female?
