There are three (3) principles on which human life flourishes, and they are contradicted by the culture of education under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure.

  1. Human beings are naturally different and diverse .
  2. Curiosity is what drives human life flourishing.
  3. Human life is inherently creative .

Education is not a mechanical system, it’s a human system, it’s about people!
