“I dreamed I stood in a studio And watched two sculptors there, The clay they used was a young child’s mind And they fashioned it with care. One was a teacher The tools she used were books and music and art, One was a parent With a guiding hand and gentle loving heart, And each agreed she would have failed If she had worked alone. For behind the parent stood the school And behind the teacher stood the home.” - C Leo.V.Swarat
