“ By giving our students practice in talking with others, we give them frames for thinking on their own. ”
Through others we become ourselves.
~ Lev S. Vygotsky
A word devoid of thought is a dead thing, and a thought unembodied in words remains a shadow.
Learning is more than the acquisition of the ability to think, it is the acquisition of many specialized abilities for thinking about a variety of things.
... People with great passions, people who accomplish great deeds, people who possess strong feelings, even people with great minds and a strong personality, rarely come out of good little boys and girls.
