"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Let's Get Excited About Learning Again
Submitted by Bradley Keyes on Fri, 2013-02-22 00:00
"Do you remember when the prospect of trying something new was exciting? There was a time when you didn’t care about your inability to do it well right away or how foolish you might look when you fail the first dozen times. I remember. And I’m reminded of this daily because I am fortunate enough to get to work with children who haven’t yet lost their curiosity about the unknown and their eagerness to learn. It keeps me young. In my experience, kids will try anything new with little reservation if I can make it exciting enough for them."
