"A child who passes through many hands in……" — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"A child who passes through many hands in turn, can never be well brought up. At every change he makes a secret comparison, which continually tends to lessen his respect for those who control him, and with it their authority over him. If once he thinks there are grown-up people with no more sense than children the authority of age is destroyed and his education is ruined."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
