    “Young children learn in a different manner from that of older children and adults, yet we can teach them many things if we adapt our materials and mode of instruction to their level of ability.

    “Because we believe ourselves to be better parents than our parents, we expect to produce “better” children than they produced.”

    —Sonia Taitz (20th century)
