"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan

The Wailers

The Wailers, Boarding House Park, Lowell Ma..
Just the 4 of us went to The Wailers. It was a nice evening. The opening band was pretty good. The skies opened up and rained a beautiful cool rain. We danced in it!!!
The Wailers came on in spite of the weather, thank goodness, because the skies cleared to a beautiful, full moon night!!
My shots of the band did not come out nice, but really we were there :~)
"Dont worry, about a thing, because every little thing is going to be alright..)
( Ben's tune right now)
