I came across this quote today on Angela Maiers’ blog:
“When will we teach our children in school what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are
unique. In all of the world there is no other child exactly like you.
In the millions of years that have passed there has never been another
child like you. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a
Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.”~ Cellist Pablo Casal~
It rips my heart out each time I hear a teacher refer to a student as a monster, as unteachable, as not wanting to learn.
