Trust Children. Nothing could be more simple, or more difficult. Difficult because to trust children we must first learn to trust ourselves, and most of us were taught as children that we could not be trusted." -John Holt, in "How Children Learn"
~John Holt Quote~
"Birds fly, fish swim, man thinks and learns. Therefore, we do not need to motivate children into learning by wheedling, bribing or bullying. We do not need to keep picking away at their minds to make sure they are learning. What we need to do, and all we need to do, is bring as much of the world as we can into [their lives]; give children as much help and guidance as they ask for; listen respectfully when they feel like talking; and then get out of the way. We can trust them to do the rest."John Holt, How Children Learn
~John Holt Quote~
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."-John Holt
"To me, an "outlaw" is a man that did things his own way, whether you liked him or not. I did things my own way..." Johnny Paycheck May 31, 1938 – February 19, 2003
~"I Believe In You"~
I don't believe that Heaven waits for only those who congregate I'd like to think of God as love He's down below He's up above He's watchin' people everywhere He knows who does and doesn't care And I'm an ordinary man Sometimes I wonder who I am But I believe in love
