State Schools

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or schools:

    A state ... arises, as I conceive, out of the needs of mankind; no one is self-sufficing, but all of us have many wants.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion—these are the most valuable coin of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.
    Jerome S. Bruner (b. 1915)
