What we call education today is often nothing more than lying to our
children, while at
the same time we think were telling them the truth.

Subject: [kl] A review

"It has been my observation that the first step in teaching people to
appreciate good music is to over power them completely by sheer majesty.
You cannot acquire a love of music by listening to simple pieces at
first and gradually working up to more complex ones."

That was Emanuel Feuermann -- Heifetz's favorite cellist -- in an
American newspaper in 1938. Today we hear 'education, education,
education' but all this appears to mean is 'dumbing down, dumbing down,
dumbing down'. Just what does 'access' mean if you kill off the product
you're trying to promote?
