Thoughts from Lillian Katz
Lilian Katz is one of the leading changemakers in the field of early childhood education, right up there with Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Erik Erikson, and Maria Montessori. Below is insight on equality taken from her book, Intellectual Emergencies: Some Reflections on Mothering and Teaching.
"I think the great struggle of our time — and no doubt for generations to come — is the struggle for equality. But we might ask: equality for what? People are not equally tall or musical or mathematical or athletic or beautiful; but they are equally human! They are equally human in the sense that they all have hopes and dreams and wishes and fantasies and aspirations and fears and doubts. They all want to be treated with respect and dignity and want to feel loved by someone. In these ways it seems to me, all of the world's people have much more in common than they have apart."
