—W. B. Yeats

In addition, please refrain from personal attacks and blatantly racist rhetoric. The forum moderator wishes people of all national origins and cultural persuasions to feel comfortable here. Condemnation of a particular race or nation of people will not be tolerated. There are other forums available for that purpose. Thank you for your consideration.

Children Learn What They Live
by Dorothy Law Neite
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.
Thank you for participating! I want this to be a fun-loving, informative and respectful learning environment. Please let me know if I can assist you in any way. I want you to be happy! Education is meant to be joyful.
Warmest regards,
Britt
