"I have been criticized throughout the course of my career for placing too much faith in the reliability of children's narratives; but I have almost always found that children are a great deal more reliable in telling us what actually goes on in public school than many of the adult experts who develop policies that shape their destinies."
Jonathan Kozol (The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America)

"You have to remember. . .that for this little boy whom you have met, his life is just as important to him, as your life is to you. No matter how insufficient or how shabby it may seem to some, it is the only one he has."
Jonathan Kozol (Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation)
