"...we've learned that helping kids find out who they really are---what they are good at and what they love to do---is the most important way of maintaining natural curiosity and an eagerness to learn. We need to stop drawing attention to what kids can't do and start emphasizing what they can do."
(Willis/Hodson, 1999)
