“ The destruction of this universe would have no significance on a cosmic scale. ”
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
~ Stanley Kubrick
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.
Observation is a dying art.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
