I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.

It's critical that children spend time before they arrive in school in a warm, attractive and inclusive environment, where they can learn through play, master social skills and prepare for formal schooling.

Kids need somewhere to go, so they're not bored on the street.

It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.

Children are trained to think linearly instead of imaginatively; they are taught to read slowly and carefully, and are discouraged from daydreaming. They are trained to reduce the use and capacity of their brain.

I think a lot of the problem is that at 8 o'clock there's nothing on for kids.

Kids have to experiment a little or figure out where they belong.

Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart, you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child's play.

The school-boy doesn't force himself to learn his vocabularies and rules altogether at night, but knows that be must impress them again in the morning.

Kids can learn a lot by seeing things rather than reading it.
