The whole art of teaching

The whole art of teaching is only
the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds
for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.

Love it! Our little guy has been enjoying rides on Grandad's tractor this summer, with that very same expression on his face.

Here's a homeschooler favorite quote:

Education isn't the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire (Yeats?).

And there is no need to awaken kids' natural curiosity - it hasn't gone to sleep yet!

Awesome!
Can my 8 year old come live with you? He wants to learn to fly so bad. He spends hours on flight simulator and wants to move onto the real thing.
