"Mantan murid saya, Idit Harel, yang menulis buku, "Desain Anak-Anak," memiliki kisah yang didokumentasikan tentang seorang anak yang sangat pemalu, terisolasi dan tidak banyak bicara dengan anak-anak lain. Dia sedikit kelebihan berat badan, dan anak-anak lain memandang rendah dia karena alasan itu. Tapi kemudian dia membuat penemuan tentang bagaimana melakukan sesuatu di komputer. Penemuan itu diambil oleh anak-anak lain, dan dalam beberapa minggu ada perubahan total. Anak ini sekarang laris. Dan itu mengubah perasaannya tentang dirinya sendiri."

My ex-student, Idit Harel, who wrote a book, "Children Designs," has a documented story of a kid who was very shy, isolated and didn't talk much to other kids. She was a little overweight, and the other kids looked down on her for that reason.But then she made a discovery about how to do something on the computer. The discovery was picked up by other kids, and within a few weeks there was a total transformation. This kid was now in demand. And that changed her feeling about herself.
