Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or classes:
“Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
—Jane Nelson (20th century)
“One marvels why ... the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
