Critical Periods

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or periods:

    Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child.

    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)

    It is noticed, that the consideration of the great periods and spaces of astronomy induces a dignity of mind, and an indifference to death.
