“We can surely no longer pretend that our children are growing up into a peaceful, secure, and civilized world. We've come to the point where it's irresponsible to try to protect them from the irrational world they will have to live in when they grow up. The children themselves haven't yet isolated themselves by selfishness and indifference; they do not fall easily into the error of despair; they are considerably braver than most grownups. Our responsibility to them is not to pretend that if we don't look, evil will go away, but to give them weapons against it.” IfsWorldGivingTryingLooksChildrenFallEvilGrowsParentResponsibilityGrowing UpGrowingHavensProtectDespairWeaponsOur ChildrenErrorsParentingPeacefulSecureSelfishnessIndifferenceGoing AwayCivilizedIsolatedIrrationalIrresponsibleGrownups Author:Madeleine L'Engle

“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.
