A five-year-old girl sits at her desk looking eagerly at her teacher, waiting in ardent anticipation of her next coloring project. The little girl’s eyes widen joyfully as her teacher approaches, holding a colored marker in her hand. “This green marker is for you,” the teacher tells the little girl. “Use it to draw me [...]
