"School adds a new dimension to a child's life. He is exposed to one of the most important institutions of society whose avowed purpose is to develop him as a person by educating his mind and sensitivities. Early experiences in school not only create the foundations on which all his later educational experiences rest - they also influence how he comes to think of himself in relationship to the wider world."

American Psychologist, Survivor of the Holocaust - Bruno Bettelheim (1982)
