“It is so very late that we
May call it early by and by. Good night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
