"I realized the importance of giving students (and myself) autonomous time to be creative and explore our wonders and passions.  Students inherently love to learn from a young age, and often they see school as a place that doesn't value what they love to learn.  Students shouldn't have to wait to learn something they are curious about.  Genius hour gives them that time."

"We do Genius hour in the classsroom because human motivation does not come from the teacher telling students what they must learn and then rewarding them with smiley face and good grades.  Indeed, according to Daniel Pink and educational researchers like Alfie Kohn, rewards have an adverse effect on motivation.  Teachers know that motivation is enhanced when autonomy, purpose and mastery are present in the classroom."
