Kids and Community

1 - Kids

 "What is crucial to understand about language is that it reflects, and does not prescribe.

Language follows learning and experience, is reflective of learning and experience

A sentence is like a picture: an abstraction, a snapshot, a moment, an artifice....When we read, when we comprehend, a language, we do so by recognizing, and not by decoding." (S. Dowens)

or

"knowledge is literally the set of connections between neurons in the brain"

"The community is the place in which we have learning experiences, and the environment through which we communicate with each other about these experiences."

and " It is therefore a mechanism whereby the experiences of one person may be replicated by another, through immersion in the same environment."
