Today's theme, at least for me, is drawn from some remarks Bill Clinto made yesterday. "Every person has a story to tell," he said. This strikes me as one of the cores of my own beliefs.

One passage struck me: "A recurring theme of likening school to a prison is found in competition entries, both past and present, suggesting that, from the point of view of those compelled to attend, little has altered in the basic character of school in spite of the vast extent of policy intervention over the intervening period."
