Words of iNsPiRaTiOn
William Butler Yeats - Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
Sir Walter Scott -All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
Theodore Roosevelt -Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.
Frederick William Robertson -The true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinions, but to kindle minds.
Beatrix Potter -Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
Plato -Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be rather a sort of amusement; this will better enable you to find out the natural bent of the child.
-The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things.
Maria Montessori -And so we discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.
Roger Lewin -Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Joseph Joubert -To teach is to learn twice.
John Holt -...since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learn't.
Emma Goldman -No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
John W. Gardner -Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.
Galileo Galilei -You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.
Ignacio Estrada -If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.
Alexandre Dumas -How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Smiley Blanton -A sense of curiosity is nature's original school of education.

Gorgeous!! Wow, how much does Sienna look like Maddy, especially in that first pic??
Just catching up on your latest blog posts. For some reason they all showed at once in my reader. Had to laugh at the Justin Beiber post. My boys have been singing his songs lately too. Thankfully no posters here. I'd be worried if there were! Girls are allowed to be all ga-ga over boy singers though, aren't they? I remember having "Bros" posters all over my room! Oh, the shame!!
Also loved the photos of the girls giving Gilby a bath!
Love these shots ...following in her mums foot steps aye!
Awww...she's so adorable!
