Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or schools:

    “Our goal as a parent is to give life to our children’s learning—to instruct, to teach, to help them develop self-discipline—an ordering of the self from the inside, not imposition from the outside. Any technique that does not give life to a child’s learning and leave a child’s dignity intact cannot be called discipline—it is punishment, no matter what language it is clothed in.”
    —Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    “The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
