Want to Read"Pupils whose foundations have been deeply laid on books and things, using narration to lock their knowledge in place, and who learn not for marks and prizes but because learning is its own reward... are set up to flourish as lifelong learners"-Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, For the Children's Sake
"No parent/home/child/teacher/school has an all-round 100 percent wholeness. We all have limitations and problems. But I must never think it is all or nothing. Perhaps I'd like to live in the country, but I don't. Well, maybe I can get the family to a park two times a week, and out to the country once every two weeks. Maybe I have to send my child to a not-so-good school. Well, maybe we can read one or two good books together aloud. If you can't give them everything, give them something."-Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, For the Children's Sake
