Being an English teacher, I felt obligated to take this short video of Archer reading a book. This is of course completely staged; I gave him the book, already open, and took video at least ten times before he looked like he was actually showing some semblance of interest in reading. This begs the question: how much do we place our own values/hang ups/silly notions onto the child? I would estimate we are accurately representing the child's motivation only a fraction of the time. Most of the time we see ourselves; hopes, fears, baggage and all.
