for example, Thomas Edison, Anne Frank and Plato.
"Creativity is more of a dull glow than a divine spark- the
more fanning it receives, the brighter it will burn."
--James Adams
"More often than not, children are unevenly gifted, often being
especially gifted in one area. It's not uncommon to find them
quite gifted in one area, but average or learning disabled in
another."
--Ellen Winner
"Avoid compulsion and let early education be a manner of
amusement. Young children learn by games; compulsory education
cannot remain in the soul."
--Plato
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
--Mark Twain
"But when it comes to children, parental involvement is a must.
This is because children often won't know they have an interest
in something until after their parents bring it to their
attention."
--John Andersen
