"The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it". ~Dee Hock

" La idea de que los niños no aprenderán sin que medien premios y castigos, o en la jerga degradada de los conductistas, "refuerzos positivos y negativos", por lo general se convierte en una profecía autocumplida. Si tratamos a los niños el tiempo suficiente como si eso fuera cierto, ellos vendrán a creer que es verdad. La gente me dice, si no me obligaran a hacer las cosas, yo no haría nada. Este es el credo de un esclavo. Puedes creer eso de ti mismo pero yo no lo creo. No pensabas de ti así cuando eras pequeño. ¿Quién te enseñó a sentir de esa manera? En gran medida la escuela. Las escuelas lo enseñan porque, creyéndoselo, no pueden dejar de actuar como si fuera cierto". ~John Holt. - HowChildren Fail.
"Libertad es el derecho que todo hombre tiene a ser honrado, y a pensar y a hablar sin hipocresía. Un hombre que oculta lo que piensa, o no se atreve a decir lo que piensa,no es un hombre honrado. Un hombre que obedece a un mal gobierno sin trabajar para que el gobierno sea bueno, no es un hombre honrado. Un hombre que se conforma con obedecer a leyes injustas y permite que pisen el país en que nació los hombres que se lo maltratan, no es un hombre honrado". ~José Martí
"Unschooling kids*will* "fall behind" because the goal of unschooling is different from the goal of school... If the goal of homeschooling is being able to spit back information right now, curriculum does that fairly well -- for kids who are able to memorize. The inmediate result is outward behavior that is impressive to other adults. It results in the mom being able to show off what a good job she's doing as a homeschooler". ~Joyce Fetteroll
