“Human beings are more alike than unalike. Whether in Paris, Texas, or Paris, France, we all want to have good jobs where we are needed and respected and paid just a little more than we deserve. We want healthy children, safe streets, to be loved and have the unmitigated gall to accept love. If we are religious, we want a place to perpetuate God. If not, we want a good lecture every once in a while. And everyone wants someplace to party on Saturday nights.” IfsWantHumansChildrenLittlesJobsNightReligiousHuman BeingsPartyAcceptingStreetsNeededHealthySafeDeservePaidFranceParisTexasSaturdayGood JobLecturesSaturday NightHealthy Children Author:Maya Angelou
“The teachers of small children are paid more than they were, but still far less than the importance of their work deserves, and they are still regarded by the unenlightened majority as insignificant compared to those who impart information to older children and adolescents, a class of pupils which, in the nature of things, is vastly more able to protect its own individuality from the character of the teacher.” ChildrenStillsCharacterAbleEducationClassTeacherTeachingInformationProtectDeserveImportancePaidMajorityIndividualityInsignificantPupilsImpartSmall Child Book:A Montessori Mother Source: A Montessori Mother
“People don't want to serve apprenticeships any more. Kids expect to be paid and treated really well and all that guff before they've achieved anything. It doesn't work like that.
