Famous quotes containing the words beaumont and/or school:
“Know from this the world’s a snare,
How that greatness is but care,
How all pleasures are but pain,
And how short they do remain:”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
