“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.” (Shaull, 2003, p.34)

Interesting Read

"Studying Young Minds and How to Teach Them" from the New York Times

More evidence for why young children need to be considered capable learners and should be empowered with information and authentic experiences early in their lives.

(Another argument for why educators should not use worksheets to teach math in the classroom.)
