C.S. Lewis wasn't talking about homeschooling ...

... but this quote sums up my feelings about instilling a love of learning, and about eschewing, whenever possible, external rewards as motivators:


"The proper rewards are not simply tacked on to the activity for which they are given, but are the activity itself in consummation."


~ C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
