"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original."
- Sir Ken Robinson
He talked about how the education system in the United States keeps trying to streamline things like the auto industry. But a car has no interest in the processes that inform its life. Unlike a child. We are not teaching subjects; we are teaching people. Which is wonderfully freeing in a way, for someone like me who is afraid of parenting. It's not like passing a test. More akin to keeping a garden. You can't make a plant grow. You can only create an environment in which growth is possible, and encouraged.
The fourth day in a row I've come to church. I keep finding reasons. It's not so bad, though; I'm getting a lot done. Friday: straight home after work. Which means I'll miss a day of blogging for the first time.
I'll write something amazing, though. I just won't be able to post it up for a couple of days.
