From When Children Love to Learn edited by Elaine Cooper

"We'd never think of buying the same size shoes for all six-year-olds! No, we take a child to have his feet measured and see what fits. In the same way, we try to fit the program to where the child is developmentally and experientially within the limits inherent in different teaching situations."


"The child's mind is the instrument of his education; his education does not produce his mind."
