Quotes by Mary MacCracken (?)

“Level with you child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.”
― Mary MacCracken

“I was gradually learning as a teacher why teachers’ colleges were wrong to spend so much time on planning. The most important thing to learn was to be able to throw the plan away, whatever it was. What was necessary was to listen, to follow each minute to its peak, learning as you went.”
― Mary MacCracken, The Lost Children

“Yesterday, I was struggling and unfortunately was not very good at Cal’s “care planning” or “progress” meeting, which I am supposed to attend with some of the staff members at Kendal every three months or so.”
