“As individual parents and as a community, our job is not to shape our children’s minds; it is to let those minds explore all the possibilities that the world allows. Our job is not to make a particular kind of child but to provide a protected space of love, safety and stability in which children of many unpredictable kinds can flourish.”
—Alison Gopnik, “A Manifesto Against Parenting” on WSJ
Anyone see the connection to our theme of Schools as Ecosystems? 🙂
