The "extraordinary capacities of the mind" are fascinating. As educators, we have the honor
to lead, coax, or prod our students into new territories of experience. We can introduce new skills or work with them on technology. We can encourage a positive work ethic and try to increase their inquiry skills.
All of our students must be nurtured to find their potential. Our book states the case that balance is needed in education- a balance of knowledge and skills plus opportunities to speculate and experiment.
We teachers need to facilitate this process. This is an exciting and challenging commitment that we must take seriously.
