Leadership for learning – children’s views
It’s more fun to colour outside the lines. Ask ‘Why?’ until you understand. Make up the rules as you go along. It doesn’t matter who started it. You sometimes have to take tests before you finish studying. If you want a kitten, start out asking for a horse. Keep knocking till someone opens the door. You can’t ask to start over when you’re losing.
