Quote
Perhaps curriculum shouldn’t shut down our self-educative tendencies, but it often does. For instance, a reading curriculum positions reading as something separate from living. Rather than reading happening naturally through a child’s interests in a particular topic, it becomes a subject to be covered in a certain way, following someone else’s agenda. Learning to read and write because you want to know more about…bugs…can be much more powerful than learning to read because your mom or teacher tells you so.
