The idea behind TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO FLY is not about making students into aerial acrobats or even performers, unless their destiny so leads - rather, the goal is to give children the power of the knowledge that they can do anything - and that, therefore, it matters very much what they choose - so that they can be better at whatever it is they choose to do, armed with awareness and empowered to create a better world for themselves - and for the future..
