He told me about being at recess and his classmates asking him to come play. He was in the little garden watching a beetle. He said, "No one notices these things or if they do it is to scream and run away or step on it and laugh. No one stops and says 'Wow! This is a living thing. What is it? Is it an adult? Where is it in its life cycle? What does it eat? Where does it live? Why is it here? What is it doing?' No one asks. No one wonders. No one cares. The teachers don't care. They just want it to stay outside. I am the only one interested in this stuff. Why is it that I am the only one?" [/quote]
