The Aims of Education by Alfred North Whitehead (1916)

"In training a child to activity of thought, above all things we must beware of what I will call "inert ideas"-- that is to say, ideas that are merely received into the mind without being utilized, or tested, or thrown into fresh combinations."

"What you teach, teach thoroughly."

"Let the main ideas which are introduced into a child's education be few and important, and let them be thrown into every combination possible. The child should make them his own, and should understand their application here and now in the circumstances of his actual life."

"From the very beginning of his education, the child should experience the joy of discovery."


Philosophy and Psychology of Teaching

- Play
- Learning by doing


My One Thing

- "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it."
                                                                                                         -Proverbs 22:6

I Choose You

Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
Cause I could live by the light in your eyes

I'll unfold before you
What I've strung together
The very first words
Of a lifelong love letter

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you

There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me you could not come true
Just love's illusion
But then you found me and everything changed
And I believe in something again

My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you

We are not perfect
We'll learn from our mistakes
And as long as it takes
I will prove my love to you

I am not scared of the elements
I am under-prepared, but I am willing
And even better
I get to be the other half of you

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
Yeah
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
