“There can be, therefore, no true education without moral culture, and no true moral culture without Christianity. The very power of the teacher in the school-room is either moral or it is a degrading force. But he can show the child no other moral basis for it than the Bible. Hence my argument is as perfect as clear. The teacher must be Christian. But the American Commonwealth has promised to have no religious character. Then it cannot be teacher.” ChildrenCharacterShowsSchoolChristianCultureForceReligiousPerfectRoomsEducationMoralChristianityClearTeacherArgumentBasesCommonwealthDegradingTrue Education Author:Robert Dabney

“Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others' reasons for action, or the basis of others' emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.” PeopleSelfReasonShowsActionUnderstandingEmotionTeacherChildhoodFashionPerceptionAppreciateFunctionBasesDepthMaturityInvolvementEmergingSelf CenterednessCenterednessPerception Of Others Author:Terri E Apter
