John Holt quotes
"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."
"The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do."
"...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,"
"The reason of a resolution is more to be considered than the resolution itself."
