Summary

This quote emphasizes how fear can hinder the development of children's language skills. The author acknowledges that many children, including themselves, become fearful of the consequences associated with education, such as poor marks, detention, and disappointing others. This fear often leads them to move away from engaging with words and language. The author suggests that it is crucial to remove this fear factor from education in order to create a more supportive and encouraging environment that fosters children's love for words and learning.
