Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Oh may my heart’s truth
Still be sung
On this high hill in a year’s turning.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
