Famous quotes containing the words cram and/or school:
“You cram these words into mine ears against
The stomach of my sense.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
