Ray, my posit is this:  There's no need to instill the desire to learn in a 
child.  He was born with that. 

What happens in schools is like a waterhose with the spigot fully open.  
Schools and schooling take up this hose and crimp it off, then relax it a little 
to let SOME water through and then view themselves as if they were the source 
of the water.

I submit that what is really happening is that you are not instilling a 
desire to learn, but rather trying to tear down the schooling induced blocks to 
learning.

I found it to be dismal work once I understood what was really afoot.
