Awareness Month

Famous quotes containing the words awareness and/or month:

    So that the reverence and the gaiety
    May not be forgotten in later experience,
    In the bored habituation, the fatigue, the tedium,
    The awareness of death, the consciousness of failure,
    Or in the piety of the convert
    Which may be tainted with a self-conceit....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    It makes little sense to spend a month teaching decimal fractions to fourth-grade pupils when they can be taught in a week, and better understood and retained, by sixth-grade students. Child-centeredness does not mean lack of rigor or standards; it does mean finding the best match between curricula and children’s developing interests and abilities.
    David Elkind (20th century)
