Goal Judge

Famous quotes containing the words goal and/or judge:

    Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    Children begin by loving their parents. After a time they judge them. Rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
