Wow that is a really beautiful quote...people also tend to learn more by making personal connections - so when children can connect their own experiences to what they're learning and give any kind of input, it makes those connections stronger and helps them retain and know what they're learning (although the personal connections can get a little much in some classes...). Right now it seems like we have a divide of education in classrooms and values at home - maybe if we narrowed that gap kids would learn more and be "better" people...? After all, values definitely play a role in how children learn the information being taught to them (as we saw with the cognitive unconscious), why not bring more abstract ideas/values/morals etc. into classroom discussions at an early age?
