    “Take heed of enemies reconciled, and of meat twice boiled.”
    —Collected in John Ray, English Proverbs. English proverb (1670)

    “Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
