"Learning is not something that is done to us, or that we can produce in others. An education is not something we 'get'...it is something we create for ourselves, on a life-long basis. The best learning--perhaps the only real learning--is that which results from personal interest and investigation, from following our own passion." Wendy Priesnitz
"Knowledge is an interconnected web of information and insight and doesn't easily submit to subject divisions and grade levels. In my experience, optimum learning occurs when the learner can ignore such arbitrary constraints and venture where her pursuit takes her. Keeping the world whole and not dicing it up into 'manageable' pieces extends to boundaries between work and fun, between learning and other activities." by Wendy Priesnitz in the essay Taking Risks & Breaking Rules from Life Learning: Lessons from the Educational Frontier
