Famous quotes containing the words community and/or school:

    “When a language creates—as it does—a community within the present, it does so only by courtesy of a community between the present and the past.”
    —Christopher Ricks (b. 1933)

    “Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
