When my first wife and I began the school, we had one main idea: to make the schoolfitthe chiM—— inst ead of making the child fit the , a school that makes active children sit at desks studying mostly uselesssubjects is abad school. It is a good school only for those who believe in such a school, forthose uncreative citizens who want docile (順從的 ), uncreative children who will fit into acivilization whose standard of success is money. I had taught in ordinary schools for many years. I knew the other way well. I knew it wasall wrong. It was wrong because it was based on an adult conception of what a child should beand of how a child should learn.

Brideprice, also called bridewealth, does not occur as often in matrilineal societies, and men pass ontheir wealth to their sisters39。s male relatives by the groom and his malerelatives. In many societies where the bride brings dowry to the marriage, however, 39。 it usually shows up in only 15 out of 60,000 births in that part of Australia, but the fact that it occurred in one out of nine testtube babies does not necessarilymean that they are at special risk. One thing the doctors can explain is the high number of Caesareans. Most of the mothers were older, had long histories of fertility problems and in some cases had had surgery on the fallopian tubes, all of which made them likely candidates forCaesareans anyway. The Australian researchers report that they are quite encouraged. All the babies are nowmaking normal progress even the twin with the birth defects. 41.
