Cohen

Famous quotes containing the word cohen:

    History is a needle
    for putting men asleep
    anointed with the poison
    Of all they want to keep.
    —Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
