Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or impact:

    “The beginning of Canadian cultural nationalism was not “Am I really that oppressed?” but “Am I really that boring?””
    —Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

    “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)
