Achievement

Famous quotes containing the word achievement:

    Perry Garfinkel (20th century)

    Generally there is no consistent evidence of significant differences in school achievement between children of working and nonworking mothers, but differences that do appear are often related to maternal satisfaction with her chosen role, and the quality of substitute care.
