There is a sign posted on one of the windows of St. Clement's Day School, here in Honolulu.
I noticed it the first time I came through the church court yard. It stops me in my tracks every time I pass by it to come to my friend Rob's apartment.
It says this:
"You can't teach a child by telling him what to do."
I don't think it's a coincidence that this is a Day School of The Episcopal Church, do you?
