- Broadly we can think of two types of children in school - The producers are those who are interested in producing the right answer. They are more interested in the outcome than the process. - The thinkers are those who tries to make sense of the process and how they arrived at the result. - We must strive to produce more thinkers --- "We used the word producer to describe the student who was only interested in getting right answers, and who made more or less uncritical use of rules and formulae to get them; we called thinker the student who tried to think about the meaning, the reality, of whatever it was he was working on. A student who jumps at the right answer and misses often falls back into defeatism and despair because he doesn't know what else to do. The thinker is more willing to plug on." - John Holt in [[How Children Fail]]
