Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or education:
“It’s funny how you never meet a parent who rushes his child. That’s what other parents do. All we are doing is reacting to our child’s “natural” ability.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
