Besides a mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of one's native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent programmer.

...our intellectual powers are rather geared to master static relations and that our powers to visualize processes evolving in time are relatively poorly developed.

A most important, but also most elusive, aspect of any tool is its influence on the habits of those who train themselves in its use. If the tool is a programming language this influence is, whether we like it or not, an influence on our thinking habits.... A programming language is a tool that has profound influence on our thinking habits.

Yes, I share your concern: how to program well -though a teachable topic- is hardly taught. The situation is similar to that in mathematics, where the explicit curriculum is confined to mathematical results; how to do mathematics is something the student must absorb by osmosis, so to speak. One reason for preferring symbol-manipulating, calculating arguments is that their design is much better teachable than the design of verbal/pictorial arguments. Large-scale introduction of courses on such calculational methodology, however, would encounter unsurmoutable political problems.

I was learning things in school rather than learning how to teach myself, which is what you have to do in life, so I just abandoned it and did ceramics for a year and a half.

The only thing that makes me mad is it messes up my baseball card. I was consistent for a long time and then that comes up. It was a learning experience for me. I'm a stronger person. I had to be. I had to bite my tongue a lot. I had to keep myself going and make sure I got my work in.

I wouldn't say frustrating. I'd say more of a learning experience. You just go with it and adjust to it.

I wouldn't say frustrating. I would say more of a learning experience. I learned a lot of stuff.

Kids don't need to be taught the value of making; they are natural makers, at least until traditional education makes them afraid of making mistakes. The long-term value of making for kids is in learning to become an active participant in the world around them rather than a consumer of prepackaged products and solutions.

Kids love it. They get learning experiences out of it. They learn what having a job is. What responsibility is. How that math lesson you hate to do will come in handy.

Know that wealth, sex-delights, power, learning are all bondage. This is the beginning of wisdom.

Kids need to learn financial lessons early when they have their parents as a safety net. If you're just learning about saving and budgeting when your first car payment is due, you could be in trouble.
