I'm not sitting behind a desk in a position of authority, I'm right down on the floor giving a lesson.

This is my classroom essentially picked up from Wexford and dropped here.

You can do a lot with this classroom and it really is effective with many different kinds of kids. It's beautiful stuff.

The playing encompasses ... How to build words, take words apart, manipulate numbers, add, subtract, multiply, divide.

A position of authority is neither necessary nor sufficient for the exercise of leadership.

RIGHT, n. Legitimate authority to be, to do or to have; as the right to be a king, the right to do one's neighbor, the right to have measles, and the like. The first of these rights was once universally believed to be derived directly from the will of God; and this is still sometimes affirmed _in partibus infidelium_ outside the enlightened realms of Democracy; as the well known lines of Sir Abednego Bink, following:By what right, then, do royal rulers rule? Whose is the sanction of their state and pow'r? He surely were as stubborn as a mule Who, God unwilling, could maintain an hour His uninvited session on the throne, or air His pride securely in the Presidential chair.Whatever is is so by Right Divine; Whate'er occurs, God wills it so. Good land! It were a wondrous thing if His design A fool could baffle or a rogue withstand! If so, then God, I say (intending no offence) Is guilty of contributory negligence.
