Poem About Working Closely With Home?

[emmajess]

Ages ago I read a poem on here that was about school and home working together, that you couldn't have one without the other, the value of both ...I'm sure there was something in it about clay, or moulding children...

 

It's exactly what I need for my parents' workshop but I've done a forum search - a bit too broad, on 'poem' - can't find it and I'm going cross eyed with the number of poems I've read!

 

Can anyone help? Thank you!

Is it

'I dreamt that I stood in a studio...'

blah blah blah and at the end something like

'The parent and teacher together '

If it is I have it at school

It's by my favourite author - Anon

Unity

By Cleo V. Swarat

 

I dreamed I stood in a studio

And watched two sculptors there,

The clay they used was a young child’s mind

And they fashioned it with care.

 

One was a teacher:

the tools she used were books and music and art;

One was a parent

With a guiding hand and gentle loving heart.

 

And when at last their work was done,

They were proud of what they had wrought.

For the things they had worked into the child

Could never be sold or bought!

 

And each agreed she would have failed

if she had worked alone.

For behind the parent stood the school,

and behind the teacher stood the home!
