No use to shout at them to pay attention. If the situations, the materials, the problems before the child do not interest him, his attention will slip off to what does interest him, and no amount of exhortation of threats will bring it back.
John Holt

People should be free to find or make for themselves the kinds of educational experience they want their children to have.
John Holt

John Holt
