If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I’ll promise not to believe everything he says happens at home.
~inspirational sayings about Teachers quotes by Anonymous Teacher

As one reads history, not in the expurgated editions written for schoolboys and passmen, but in the original authorities of each time, one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.
~school quotes by Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism

~risk sayings by Philip Adams

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.
~wise school sayings by Edgar W. Howe

Poverty, race, ethnicity and immigration status are not in themselves determinative of student achievement. Demography is not destiny. The amount of melanin in a student’s skin, the home country of her antecedents, the amount of money in the family bank account, are not the inexorable determinants of academic success. The evidence introduced at trial demonstrates that these negative life experiences can be overcome by public schools with sufficient resources well deployed. It is the clear policy of the state, as formulated by the Regents and S.E.D. [State Education Department], that all children can attain the substantive knowledge and master the skills expected of high school graduates. The court finds that the city’s at-risk children are capable of seizing the opportunity for a sound basic education if they are given sufficient resources
~saying by Leland DeGrasse

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylum would be filled with mothers
