Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.”

Because if you don’t, if you only make it a safe haven, if it’s all clap-happy, and ‘everything the kids do is great’, then what are you creating? Emotional toffees, who’ve actually learnt nothing, but who then have to go back and face the real world … Find that balance, it stretches you, it stretches you as far as you’ll go.”
