Denise Erichsen Just what I was needing today!
The only people who have a hope of becoming linchpins in any organization, who have any hope of changing anything for the better in real terms, are those who have the capacity to do “emotional work” at a high level—to be true artists at whatever they set their minds on doing.

The economy has changed, probably forever. School hasn't. School was invented to create a constant stream of compliant factory workers to the growing businesses of the 1900s. It continues to do an excellent job at achieving this goal, but it's not a goal we need to achieve any longer.

Gleeson's message here is a wonderful one: books truly can transform lives. Isn't it heartening to realise that, regardless of children's birth circumstances, learning to read can open so many doors for them? No wonder the author wants us to: hold (books) close, free from all the dust and the dog and the rain.
