“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“I cant really hear the audience applause when Im on stage. Im totally immersed in the piece. But sometimes I get a lot of it and wonder, Now, why did they applaud here? If its a white crowd, they usually applaud because they think its a pretty movement. If its a black crowd, its usually because they identify with the message.”
—Judith Jamison (b. 1944)
