What is your favorite quote?
"True learning comes from a fusion of head, heart, and body. The knowledge and understanding that become a true part of our selves are always the result of experiential learning in which we are intellectually connected, emotionally engaged, and physically involved. The heroic school and school system are places in which the joy and chaos of exploration and inquiry are dominant and always present."
