Quote
The reality is that most of us grew up in an authoritarian classroom. We were told what to learn, what to do, and how to act. We were told that our interests and enthusiasms didn’t matter. We were told that our natural creativity was not nearly as important as coloring in the lines. We were told that freedom was for others.
