Elastic Demand

Famous quotes containing the words elastic and/or demand:

    bodies wrapped in elastic bands,
    bodies cased in wood or used like telephones,
    bodies crucified up onto their crutches,
    bodies wearing rubber bags between their legs,
    bodies vomiting up their juice like detergent,
    bodies smooth and bare as darning eggs.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
