1. To make good people
2. To make good citizens
3. And to make each student find some particular talents to develop to the maximum. "

After looking at his web site, I seriously wonder- does he get paid to be a "geek" for a living or did he invent a way to make a money tree after reading all those physics books? I would like to know how one finds the time and to "play" so much. So Many toys- even a segway, and all the latest cell phones (bluetooth of course), robot toys, etc. - What about the real world? It was fun to look at for a fantasy get away- but let's get serious. Where's my silver spoon to Geekdom?

I remember reading a quote out of a book by Dr. Wilfred Funk called "Six Weeks to Words of Power". The quote by Dr. John Dewey in that books stated "Thought is impossible without words". But then again that book was really old.
I found an intriguing link posted below - What do you "Think"?
