William A. Alcott, 1831
“We too often consult our own convenience, rather than the comfort, welfare, or accommodation of our children.”
“We’ll…”When we make a “single
decision” – “we’ll read a printed book” “we’ll write on paper” “we’ll all have iPads” “we’ll all come to school at this time” “we’ll all sit down” – we disable up to 80% of students
Get “we’ll all” out of our vocabulary, it is “anti-human” at a most basic level
