[00:01.35]Section C [00:03.79]Almost every child,on the first day he sets foot in a school building,is smarter,more curious, [00:11.66]less afraid of what he doesn't know,better at finding and figuring things out, [00:17.24]more confident, resourceful,persistent and independent than he will ever be again in his schooling or, [00:25.08]unless he is very unusual and very lucky,for the rest of his life. [00:29.95]Already,by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him. [00:36.54]And without any school-type formal instruction,he has done a task far more difficult, [00:42.53]complicated and abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, [00:46.84]or than any of his teachers has done for years. [00:49.74]He has solved the mystery of language. [00:54.26]He has discovered it--babies don't even know that language exists. [00:58.83]And he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately. [01:03.60]He has done it by exploring,by experimenting,by developing his own model of the grammar of language, [01:12.14]by trying it out and seeing whether it works,by gradually changing it and refining it until it does work. [01:20.13]And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, [01:25.85]including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach him. [01:31.08]And many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
