[b]“There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent”
- Mahatma Ghandi

• “The home is the chief school of human virtue”
-William Etheny Channing

• “A child educated only at school is an undereducated child” –George Santayana

• “Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve” –Roger Lewin

• “Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have idea spark another” –Marva Collins

• “If the child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, the excitement, and the mastery of the world we live in” – Rachel Carson

• “The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lesson of life: truth, honour, virtue, self-control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.” –David O. McKay

• “When I look at a child, I see a living, breathing person, made in God’s image, for whom God has a plan. As educators, we need to embrace a new notion of learning…we need to engage the hearten order to effectively educate the child. Our vision of a well-educated child is a child who has a heart for learning, a child who has the tools he needs to continue to learn for a lifetime and a child who has the love to want to do it” –Elizabeth Foss

• “We cannot continue to send our children to Caesar for their education and be surprised when they come home as Romans.” –Voddie T. Baucham Jr

• “Children, even when very young, have the capacity for inventive thought and decisive action. They have worthwhile ideas. They perceptive connections. They’re individuals from the start: a unique bundle of interest, talents, and preferences. They have something to contribute. They want to be part of things. It is up to us to give them the opportunity to express their creativity, explore widely and connect with their own meaningful work” –Lori McWilliam Pickert[/b]
