It is too little to ask to look at the child's world as they (sic) see it,
and not demand that the child grow into our world.
***
This is the one thing Lou wrote that I disagree with. Why do you assume "our
world" is the correct one? Frankly, I'm very happy that I did NOT grow into
any of my teachers' worlds; I feel that I grew beyond it in many ways (and
perhaps simply outside of it in many others).
I don't believe I see things in the way my teachers did, or perhaps that I
ever did, and if I were limited to that perspective I do not doubt that I
would have less to give to the world and the people around me than I do now.
Do you?
