"One
of the big misapprehensions about mathematics that we perpetrate in our
classrooms is that the teacher always seems to know the answer to any
problem that is discussed. This gives students the idea that there is a
book somewhere with all the right answers to all of the interesting
questions, and that teachers know those answers. And if one could get hold
of the book, one would have everything settled. That's so unlike the true
nature of mathematics."
L.A. Steen and D.J. Albers
(eds.), Teaching Teachers, Teaching Students, Boston: Birkhäuser, 1981,
p89.
"The
cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from
Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted
heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers."
Konrad Lorenz
(1903 - 1989)
