    Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.

    Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—

    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
