“Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking, ‘That's impossible,’ or ‘That costs too much,’ or ‘That won't benefit me.’ For better or worse, we kids aren't hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things. Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking...It shouldn't be a teacher at the head of the class, telling students, ‘Do this, do that.’ The students should teach their teachers. Learning between grown-ups and kids should be reciprocal.” -Adora Svitak You can hear more of Adora's thoughts by listening to her TED Talk here: www.ted.com/talks/adora_svitak Grownups Are Strange by Bill Harley (3:55) Bill Harley sings about the weird things grownups do, and his personal struggle with becoming one.
