Famous quotes containing the word called:
“I think that parents ought to get some idea of how the so- called experts have changed their advice over the decades, so that they wont take them deadly seriously, and so that if the parent has the strong feeling, I dont like this advice, the parent wont feel compelled to follow it. . . . So dont worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.”
—Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)
“Im mooring my rowboat
at the dock of the island called God.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“Parents are used to being made to feel guilty about...their contribution to the population problem, the school tax burden, and declining test scores. They expect to be blamed by teachers and psychologists, if not by police. And they will be blamed by the children themselves. It is hardy a wonder, then, that they withdraw into what used to be called permissiveness but is really neglect.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
