Famous quotes containing the words government and/or recognition:
“No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
