Why our kids don't love learning.

"When we fail to nurture the spirit we fail to foster a LOVE of learning. Love of learning is a requirement of inspiration - our students are uninspired when we fail to nurture the spirit. It's a viscous circle. The Arts are the manifestation of the human spirit yet never seem to have an equally regarded seat at the table."
--D A Bickford
