Step Testing

Famous quotes containing the words step and/or testing:

    Then gently scan your brother Man,
    Still gentler sister Woman;
    Though they may gang a kennin wrang,
    To step aside is human:
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
