"Teaching is often a dangerous thing. To be taught is often to be impaired. Children are punished for their innate imaginations, and trained to see and do alike, as one might domesticate a free and wild dog into a household pet. Teaching should encourage individuals, not liquefy them into a leaden homogeneity to be poured into uniform molds to cast leaden minds that are all of a kind."
