The hundred languages

(Loris Malaguzzi) 

..... 

The child has

A hundred languages

A hundred hands

A hundred thoughts

A hundred ways of thinking

A hundred ways of speaking

..... 

But they steal ninety-nine

The school and the culture separate the head from the body

They tell the child:

To think without hands

To do without head

To listen and not to speak

To  understand without joy

To love and to Marvel Only on the Easter and Christmas (hanya saat perayaan hari besar) 

....
