Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or institutions:

“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)

“In my short experience of human life, the outward obstacles, if there were any such, have not been living men, but the institutions of the dead.”
