Quote

It is hard not to feel that there must be something very wrong with much of what we do in school, if we feel the need to worry so much about what many people call “motivation.” A child has no stronger desire than to make sense of the world, to move freely in it, to do the things that he sees bigger people doing. Why can’t we make more use of this great drive for understanding and competence?
