Famous quotes containing the words plan and/or man:
“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.”
—Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881)
