Sand Point School

Famous quotes containing the words sand, point and/or school:

    I look back at it amid the rain
    For the very last time; for my sand is sinking,
    And I shall traverse old love’s domain
    Never again.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    And William had dudgeon for the sightless beadle
    Who worshipped a God like a grandmother on ice-skates,
    For William saw two angels on the point of a needle
    As nobody since except W. B. Yeats.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
