Famous quotes containing the words public and/or school:
“Ill sing you a new ballad, and Ill warrant it first-rate,
Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
On evry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at evry noble gate,
In the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (18121890)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of societys illsfrom crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
