"We can tell our children that school is important until we’re blue in the face, they’re not stupid. They see the loudest applause is for the kids on the field. They know teachers are paid poorly and don’t drive fancy cars. They know people plan Super Bowl parties but mock the National Spelling Bee. In other words, they see the hypocrisy, and we can’t expect society to correct itself. If we want to have any lasting influence on the way our kids approach education — the way future generations approach education — then we have to grab our pom-poms and paint our faces and celebrate intellectual curiosity with the same vigor we do their athletic achievements."

Going on from my previous post, I wanted to showcase some of Cheeming Boey’s art.

The thing that really strikes me about Boey’s work is how playful and innocent his art is.  Just look at the kind of imagination he puts into each cup!  The medium alone takes me back to my childhood when in a restaurant every napkin, place mat, and paper item was a canvas.

How does one put so much joy into one little cup?
