For me, all those systematic Bureaucracies of traditional schools jaded me. For me, I still I couldn’t understand why we have to have a factory style education for children living in the 21st century.

You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.

Suzy Kassem - Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
The parent is protector and trainer, but never the ultimate teacher. Every parent is responsible for teaching their kid basic moral conduct, manners, the difference between love and hate, and right from wrong.

And you cannot threaten your child with hell and tell them your religion is the only right way. There is no one right way. The many ways to the Creator are as varied as the color

Willa Cather - The Song of the Lark
He had never got so much back for himself from any pupil as he did from Miss Kronborg. From the first she had stimulated him; something in her personality invariably affected him.

Musically, she was sympathetic to him. Why this was true, he never asked himself. He had learned that one must take where and when one can
