“Teach the children so that it will not be necessary to teach the adults.”
--Abraham Lincoln
"Comparing your family with another is like comparing one species with another. There are similarities and differences, just the way God made us. What might look better to us when we look at another family is no different than thinking a butterfly is better than a bird or a dolphin. God has different plans for all his creatures."
"As you know, the task of a teacher is not simply to impart information or to provide training in skills intended to deliver some economic benefit to society; education is not and must never be considered as purely utilitarian. It is about forming the human person, equipping him or her to live life to the full – in short it is about imparting wisdom. And true wisdom is inseparable from knowledge of the Creator, for 'both we and our words are in His hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts' (Wis 7:16)."...Pope Benedict XVI
