About This Quote

There’s something missing in how we inform the youngsters coming along about what matters in the world. We teach them the letters and numbers, but we fail to inform them about the importance of our connection with the living world. The only way that we can change the world for the better is if we teach our children about kindness and compassion. That’s what matters in life, not just reading and writing and arithmetic.
