"...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)
