Imagine there's no school year,
Freedom all year long,
No cause for shame and boredom,
No answer that is wrong.
Imagine all the children
Living life in joy!!
Now you may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
Perhaps some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Every child is born a genius.
9,999 out of every 10,000
are swiftly, inadvertently,
de-geniused by grown-ups.
-R.Buckminster Fuller
"A child whose life is full of the threat and fear of punishment is
locked into babyhood. There is no way for him to grow up, to learn to take
responsibility for his life and acts. Most important of all, we should not
assume that having to yield to the threat of our superior force is good for
the child's character. It is never good for anyone's character."
- John Holt,
"Three Kinds of Discipline"
