Famous quotes containing the words steinberg and/or education:

    Parents sometimes feel that if they don’t criticize their child, their child will never learn. Criticism doesn’t make people want to change; it makes them defensive.
    —Laurence Steinberg (20th century)

    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
