Albert Einstein was asked once how we could make our children intelligent. His reply was both simple and wise. “If you want your children to be intelligent,” he said, “read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” He understood the value of reading, and of imagining. I hope we can give our children a world in which they will read, be read to, imagine, create, and understand.

Teachers often
say they learn
more from their
students than their
students learn
from them. That
is certainly true in
my case. Because
not everyone has
the opportunity
to work in a classroom, and may
find themselves publicly speaking on
behalf of model aviation, working in a
classroom, or leading a club meeting,
here a few things I learned while
teaching that may be valuable to your
efforts!

While Dave Barry has a great quote for us this month, it’s really nothing new. As the Education Department moves forward to promote and share Education through Aviation, we’ve been developing a new program of very special volunteers—people who do know what Velcro is! We call them our Youth Ambassadors and they are comprised of the very best young model aviators in the nation.
