And when teachers try to【C3】______these children they【C4】______sing, the kids just don’t see the point.

Pleasure is no longer the aim of our【C8】______activities; in fact no one even sees any thing pleasant【C9】______doing something less than perfectly well. This is crazy. And it’s【C10】______a terrible toll. Not only【C11】______depriving ourselves of creative satisfaction and【C12】______our children from finding joy in【C13】______they can do themselves--we’re also destroying our artists.

We are【C19】______our artists with our refusal to entertain【C20】______ourselves in our own incompetent ways.
