“If Donald Trump were a typical President running a typical administration, I would agree that arrests seem unlikely. But the evidence suggests that Trump is not a typical President and he is not running a typical administration.” – Praying Medic Why Are the Arrests Taking So Long?
“Erasmus recognized the argument that the education process should wait until children were older posed the strongest opposition to his push for the development of the mind. The way Erasmus dealt with this argument makes it seem like the method of waiting and only teaching older children was a common practice, probably just as frequently employed as the timetable Erasmus proposed. He urged parents not to squander the first years of their children’s lives by refusing them any form of instruction during that time. If they did, Erasmus warned that when they got around to giving their children an education their “age wyll not so well be handled, and hys wytte shall be more readye to euyll, and peraduenture possessed alreadye wt the fast holdyng bryers of vices.”24 In this way, Erasmus showed that putting off teaching would only hamper their children’s education when they finally did undertake it. Rather, he argued, education should begin early in order to preempt the development of bad habits.”
