“The aim of education is to fit children for the position in life which they are hereafter to occupy. Boys are to be sent out intothe world to buffet with its temptations, to mingle with bad and good, to govern and direct.... girls are to dwell in quiet homes, amongst a few friends; to exercise a noiseless influence, to be submissive and retiring. There is no connection between the bustling mill-wheel life of a large school and that for which they are supposed to be preparing.... to educate girls in crowds is to educate them wrongly.” WorldChildrenHomeSchoolGirlBoysInfluencePositionFitExerciseQuietDirectConnectionsAimCrowdsTemptationSupposed To BeWheelsRetiringEducatePreparingHereafterMillsBuffetsSubmissiveFew FriendsAim Of Education Author:Elizabeth Missing Sewell

“BMX riding breaks down racial perceptions. Coming from New York City and being a BMX rider, that isn't something that's too common. I feel like for the longest time, I would ride through certain neighborhoods and people would call me a "white boy" because they associated white boys from California with BMX riding, and it bugs me so much because I'm completely not that. I completely don't fit that mold. It's really important for me to bring BMX riding to the masses and show people exactly what it is.” PeopleFeelsImportantShowsCertainWhiteCommonCitiesBoysBreakNew YorkFitPerceptionMassCaliforniaNeighborhoodCall MeNew York CityRidingBreaking DownBugsMoldRidersBmx Author:Nigel Sylvester
