Famous quotes containing the words king and/or school:

    “How the imagination is piqued by anecdotes of some great man passing incognito, as a king in gray clothes.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
