    testimonial
    The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

    @Martin Luther King, Jr.

    testimonial
    Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.
