An eye-opening reflection on how we view children and how we teach children in our current education system
"Once upon a time the animals had a school. They had four subjects ~ running, climbing, flying, and swimming ~ and all animals took all subjects."

We should not expect all children to learn the same way or excel at the same things, at the same age.
