"Children resist, almost always angrily, all such unasked-for teaching because they hear in it the (perhaps unconscious) message, 'You're not smart enough to see that this is important to learn, and even if you were, you're not smart enough to learn it.' Naturally it makes them hurt and angry. 'Let me do it myself!' they shout. That's just what we should do." John Holt
