Williams Middle School

Famous quotes containing the words williams, middle and/or school:

    What is more pretentiously
    useless
    or about which
    we more pride ourselves?
    It leads as often as not
    to our undoing.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    People who are always praising the past
    And especially the times of faith as best
    Ought to go and live in the Middle Ages
    And be burnt at the stake as witches and sages.
    Stevie Smith (1902–1971)

    Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.
    James P. Comer (20th century)
