Response to Will

The way in which Will engages his children about books is fascinating.
Even so much as the idea of writing books and then being able to send them
out for Christmas presents is a great idea on his behalf. He brings
writing and the aspect of books into his child's life and it actually
intrigues her. From his eagerness and enthusiasm comes his daughters--
and the enthusiasm coming from books is so commendable on behalf of Will.

Teachers should learn something from this. Even though writing, reading, and books are associtaed with school, which is associated with boredom (most of the time), it doesn't need to be that way. Taking those aspects of school and turning them into something fun for kids is the way to get students to see school as enjoyable.
