Quotes from John Bowlby:''
‘’Just as children are absolutely dependent on their parents for sustenance, so in all but the most primitive communities, are parents, especially mothers, dependent on greater society for economic provision. If a community values its children it must cherish their parents’’ (Bowlby, 1951, p. 84).
Quotes from Louise-Derman Sparks:
''Childrem are not succeding because they are not given the tools they need not because they don't have the intelligence.''
''The passion was that all children were taught in an environment that truly nurtured their ability to develop and grow.''
