“All children are born geniuses. 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently, degeniused by grown-ups.” – R. Buckminster Fuller
“Truth is, those children who in the past would have developed into dynamic, well-rounded citizens are the ones most likely to fail. Those who really wanted to learn, rather than just achieve good grades. Those who could not stifle their natural energy and curiosity are now likely to become problem children. The school system will do everything it can to reform them, to correct them...even drugging them if they act out their dissatisfaction.” – Bob Smith
“And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps.” – H. L. Mencken
“We really don’t know how to raise children. If we want to talk about equality of opportunity for children, then the fact that children are raised in families means there’s no equality…In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them.” – Dr. Mary Jo Bane, Former Asst. Secretary of the Administration for Children and Families—Department of Health and Human Services for the Clinton Administration
HEY DEVON:
Don't ever let them crush your spirit. For a good part of the next 10 to 12 years, you might have to jump through some administrative hoops so that you're not labeled as a "problem"... But once you've satisfied "the system" & you're on your own time, squeeze every little drop out of life that you can. The more you excel now, the more opportunities there will be in the future. Learn HOW to think--not WHAT to think.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

My spouse and i felt absolutely ecstatic that Peter could do his analysis because of the ideas he was given from your own weblog. It's not at all simplistic to simply always be making a gift of tips and tricks which other people might have been selling. Therefore we remember we've got you to thank because of that. All of the explanations you made, the easy site menu, the relationships you will make it easier to engender - it is all terrific, and it's really assisting our son and our family consider that that subject is amusing, which is certainly quite mandatory. Many thanks for the whole lot!
