I really like these quotes:
The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil.It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and fore ordained and only he holds the key to his own secret.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"We are students of words; we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing"
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
