Mahatma GandhiThere is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.
About This Quote
A school is not the same without a good home and no teacher is the same without a good parent. A teacher can only teach what he or she knows. A parent can only teach what he or she has learned. If they are not there to guide us, they cannot expect us to do well in school.
We need to be able to trust that the teachers and parents will do everything in their power to help us succeed. We must learn that success is never guaranteed just by being accepted into a good school. We must first learn what it means to be a good student and a good person before we can expect others to see us as a success.
