“The Ball no Question makes of Ayes and Noes,
But Here or There, as strikes the Player goes;
And He that toss’d you down into the Field,
He knows about it all — HE knows — HE knows!”
(E. Fitzgerald in The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, Fourth Edition)

It’s been a long time since we sat under this tree
“Auto Ecole”; driving in empty places
Entrance to the school for writing errors
And these I see, these sparkling eyes, These stores of mystic meaning, these young lives, Building, equipping like a fleet of ships, immortal ships, Soon to sail out over the measureless seas, On the soul's voyage. Only a lot of boys and girls? Only the tiresome spelling, writing, ciphering classes? Only a public school? Ah more, infinitely more. (W. Whitman in Song of democracy) Namur (B)
Teaching is at a standstill

“We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone …”
