OSSLT Literacy Test Results for Westmount Students Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test EQAO.com Provincial Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics 2002-03	TWO SCULPTORS I dreamed I saw a studio And watched two sculptors there. The clay they used was a child’s mind. And they fashioned it with care. One was a teacher – the tool he used Were books, music, and art. The other, a parent, worked with a guiding hand, And a gentle loving heart. Day after day, the teacher toiled with a touch That was careful, deft, and sure, While the parent labored by his side And polished and smoothed it o’er. And when at last, their task was done, They were proud of what they had wrought. For the things they molded into the child Could neither be sold or bought. And each agreed they would have failed If either had worked alone. For behind the parent stood the school And behind the teacher, the home. - Anonymous
