Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or structure:

    “The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
    —Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)

    “The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
