几乎每个小孩，在他第一天走进教学楼，比他在校期间或者在他的余生再次走进教学楼，都更聪明和好学，对他所不知道的事物不再那么害怕，更善于发现和理解事物，更自信，更机智，更有毅力和独立。 在学校做任何一件事都可以问怎么做或者他的老师已经做过很多年，而只通过仔细观察世界和身边的人们并与它们发生联系，而没有学校式的正规教育，他已经完成了一件要困难、复杂和抽象得多的任务—他已经解开了语言的奥秘。他发现了它。婴儿甚至不知道语言的存在。 并且他已经发现了语言是如何发生作用，还学会了适当地运用它。他做这一切只是通过探索、尝试、改进自己的语法模板并且试着运用出来看看凑不凑效，然后不断地改进和提炼它，直到它有用为止。 当他在做这些事的时候，他也已经学会了其他的一些事，包括很多被学校认为只有他们才能教给他的概念，和很多比别人试图教给他的更复杂的东西。 ——译文来自: 武三三533
