A hundred children, a hundred individuals who are people--not people-to-be, not people of tomorrow, but people now, right now--today.

Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today. They are entitled to be taken seriously. They have a right to be treated by adults with tenderness and respect, as equals. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be - The unknown person inside each of them is the hope for the future.
