“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
Plutarch

James Baldwin

Apocryphal
“School is not at all like billiards. When you play billiards you push the ball with a certain force and it hits the table and bounces off; there’s a definite way the ball will go, depending on force and direction. Children are not at all like this, predictable. But sometimes schools function as if the were; these are schools with no joy.”
Loris Malaguzzi
“Play is not a break from learning, but a pathway toward learning.”
Marilou Hyson
