When you look at the increasing numbers of foster-care kids, it’s easy to see the increased pressure on foster parents.

Our organization is the construction manager for Woodstock schools. We think it’s a great idea for the kids to get some new schools. They’re overcrowded.

We think of things we’ve always wanted to do, even when we were kids.

We should know something about one of the kids in a few hours or so.

This means the world to me professionally and personally because these kids have just done an outstanding job. I was telling them in the locker room after this that they are a true team. …...

We’ve got kids stepping up and playing in positions they haven’t been in all year, so it’s taking some time. They built up a huge lead, and we put together a good comeback, but it’s...

We tried anything to stop the bleeding. Some of their kids who had not been shooting well hit a couple of shots.

America is a young country, young and brash and prone to errors. Like teenagers. For all our inherent goodness, we’ve been cursed with bright, shiny object disease and we don’t want a cure. Not now....

Children, as persons, are entitled to the greatest respect. Children are given to us as free-flying souls, but then we clip their wings like we domesticate the wild mallard. Children should become the role-models for...

The staff will be lost; the kids will be lost, but they will be lost together,

These guys are high school kids, so of course (struggling at times) is going to linger with them a bit. But Nick was able to get himself back after a couple of bad pitches, rather...

Brent is passionate in what he does and the kids see that, … He’s very positive in his coaching and a great role model. He teaches the basics well and has a system such that...

It’s not the wife-and-husband-and-two-kids-type thing anymore. We get mothers and grandmothers and two kids, and whether Dad’s in the picture, well, we don’t ask questions.

I’ve got to have kids of my own. If not, who’s going to ascend to my throne?

If we had lost, I would have told my kids the same thing. I was proud of how hard they played. I know (Berea) is disappointed, but they played a great game.

I think some of our older kids aren’t being good examples to the younger kids.

Kids shouting and skidding in the playground with no idea what future Hells awaited them: boring jobs and ruinous mortgages and bad marriages and hair loss and hip replacements and lonely cups of coffee in...

Kids never want a perfect mother; they need a little love, even if that comes from a worst mother.

I think the kids now are missing what happened at Calumet. And I agree with the six-team sectional. It’s bad.

The kids just know how to win. The hallmark of this team is they are able to adjust to any situation on the fly. They don’t panic.

I think they’re going to have to get a broader base of kids that are behind them. To have it be the most successful, it would be good to get a small group of kids...

I could see cases where kids want to transfer to successful programs, making the rich richer and poor poorer. For example, a girl could play in the volleyball championships, change schools for the basketball championships...

I tell my kids that a few times, too.

We’re young. We want to be competitive, and try to improve with every match. I think that if the kids can shoot in the mid to high 80s, we should be OK.

We lost more kids than we probably have in the last 10 years. But then you add Libby O’Brien and Krissy Brown. We have a lot of talent in our freshman class, but I think...

Some of this stuff sounds dangerous.

Our kids don’t want to live in deplorable rooms, … They’re paying $25,000 a year to come to this school. You tell me what kind of environment they should have.

He’s here now and we couldn’t wait. The fit for the kids is sensational and I’m thrilled to have him as coach.

We had some different kids make some big shots. I thought Davey Johnson was huge early when we were struggling. And then our normal guys made some big shots and did some good things.

What if the kid you bullied at school, grew up, and turned out to be the only surgeon who could save your life?

The kids competed and nobody lay down. But we’ve got to be able to step it up a little more.

And he looked lonely enough that she said, ‘If you like, you could be my friend’.

The biggest thing for me has been enjoying my kids and enjoying the game. It has been a lot of fun this season.

That was a great match. Neither one of those two kids deserved to lose. That match was won and lost by a coin flip.

I got a statistic for you right now. Grab your pencil, Doug. There are five billion trees in the world. I looked it up. Under every tree is a shadow, right? So, then, what makes...

It’s difficult for some military personnel after five or six years who may be married, have kids and other financial obligations, … If they haven’t banked some on the side, it’s tough.

I believe in the program. I want my money to go to kids that work hard and succeed.

In the midst of the vagaries of life, they provide us a trip to the land of goodness and fairies, of imaginations and possibilities.A childhood that wasn’t spent watching cartoons or reading comic strips, no...

Look at you, standing there in your iron- gray dress, feeling piousand self- righteous while you starve small children!

In the first half, we moved the ball pretty well. We got some younger kids in in the second half to get them some early reps. But Collins was pretty consistent the whole game.

learning” is motivated by extrinsic rewards and punishments rather than by the children’s true interests—turns learning from a joyful activity into a chore, to be avoided whenever possible. Coercive schooling, which tragically is the norm...

One of the first things I told the kids afterward was that Fred pitched a heck of a game. I honestly thought if we made the plays we should have made, they probably had five...

We’ve got more and more kids coming around. The kids are hitting the ball hard.

The problem with a man is, he is no more a child.

It feels real good to see the kids do what they’ve done this season. They went undefeated (11-0 in the regular season), accomplishing a lot of the goals we set out to. It’s especially gratifying...

(O’Brien) said that he can’t leave the kids. He doesn’t feel right leaving them, which I can appreciate.

In the big picture I can’t express how proud of my kids I am. We knew it probably would take a big number to win today and the guys battled each inning.

Charlene’s thoughts:I’m next in the green jumper’s Class. I thought I’d be in the red jumpers’ class because of my red hair.

We wanted to come out and be as physical as we can. The kids are really buying into it.

Darling Daddy,Poor Saffy. She had a big fight in the boys toilets on Monday, did you know? A very big fight and Sarah helped and it was terrifying. Said a boy in my class who...
