Quote:
• Don’t appear so scholarly, pray. Humanize your talk, and speak to be understood. — Jean-Baptiste Poquelin [aka Moliere] (1622-1673) French playwright
• Every child needs to become literate in one or more languages, and every child should become comfortable in the major scholarly disciplines – historical, scientific, mathematical, and artistic-humanistic thinking.
