I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must taught to think. Whereas if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less slowly. Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table while a sweet-voiced teacher suggest that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of colored paper, or plant straw trees in flower pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experiences. - Anne Sullivan |

HowToBuildAWoodenGoKartHow to Build a Wooden Go KartI have received a number of emails about Kart Building and how to go about making a Go kart. As a result I have asked a friend to draw up some plans, the plans print on A3 paper, however they look quite good on standard A4 size paper. (UK) Wooden Go Kart Plan #002Download this Wooden Go Kart Plan Attach:wooden-go-kart-plan-002.pdf (PDF) Which of us know how to spell Go Kart, I have always spelt it "Go Cart", however in Australia they are call it Billy Kart or Box Kart, elsewhere they are known as Soap Box Karts. Whichever way you choose to spell it, Go-Kart or Go-Cart they are great fun. For me they symbolize an era when kids were free to roam safely and have fun. These plans are quite detailed. You should improvise and choose your own materials. Your mileage may vary. These plans are after all only a starting point, they come without warranty of any sort.
