You recently posted one of my favorite quotes by her on your site.

Somehow I am not worried. Surely every teacher must want each child to succeed... must hope to help him find a self, but this self may be a non-conforming self. And surely there will always be the occasional prickly child who rejects all efforts, who kicks the other children, bites teacher's hands, is unloving and unlovable, and yet who will, one day, produce - perhaps out of this very unloveliness - a work of art which sings of love.</I><BR/>~ Madeline L'Engle (A Circle of Quiet)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775023211592319658noreply@blogger.com
