Pg 90, 1st column,-“we tend to loose sight….continue to grow himself.” This quote was basically about it takes a village to raise a child. The parents in this movie were sending their children off to be raised by all of these teachers. John Keating taught them to keep an open mind when others were teaching conformity.
