"For centuries, the dream of helping lost, demoralised girls and boys to unlock their talents and discover a love of learning has drawn young men and women into teaching. Sometimes, a teacher of exceptional insight and talent finds that this dream comes true. Yet far too often, and through no fault of their own, teachers repeatedly fail to engage their struggling learners and become demoralised and jaded. The model by which they were taught to teach has let them down."

– Ronald Davis, Foreword to Why Tyrannosaurus But Not If?

“The creative process and the learning process, if not the same thing, are so closely associated that we will never be able to separate them.”
