Waveplace on NPR

Seymour Papert

"Imagine that children were forced to spend an hour a day drawing dance steps on squared paper and had to pass tests in these "dance facts" before they were allowed to dance physically. Would we not expect the world to be full of "dancophobes"? Would we say that those who made it to the dance floor and music had the greatest "aptitude for dance"? In my view, it is no more appropriate to draw conclusions about mathematical aptitude from children's unwillingness to spend many hundreds of hours doings sums."

(mindstorms, page 43)
