One school of thought would be to put it in Ashley where he (McGowan) was born.

My third grade teacher at S. Ellen Jones (Elementary School), Yvonne Grundy. She wouldn’t let me slack. If I half did something, she made me do it over.

The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.

Let me guess, you’re Harry Potter and this is the school of Hogwarts. If I say Lumos will it light up?

We’ve been preparing since school has begun.

She was right: school was lonely. The eighteen and nineteen year olds didn’t socialize with the younger kids, and though there were plenty of students my age and younger […] their lives were so cloistered...

I hope you’re pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed – or worse, expelled. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to bed.

Teachers who complain ‘These kids have no work ethic’ couldn’t be farther off the mark. The problem is not that these kids lack a work ethic; the problem is that some of them see no...

I’ll convert a school desk into a tricycle, because how else am I supposed to learn to love? It’s not like baseball gloves are very effective oven mitts.

We have some guys that may not have been recruited as heavily because of the location of their high school or whatever, but these players are just as good. And some of them have already...

Adults always ask kids how they are doing at school. The one subject kids absolutely hate talking about. You don’t even want to talk about school when you are at school.

The way things are going now, this isn’t good for high school and it isn’t good for the clubs. And without a doubt, it isn’t good for the kids.

I couldn’t help but think about school and everything else ending. I liked standing just outside the couches and watching them—it was a kind of sad I didn’t mind, and so I just listened, letting...

I wasn’t really aware that I was getting close to (2,000) until I broke the school (scoring) record. I didn’t really even know it was an elite club until my coach told me.

Early in the morning before school started he would have high school seniors come in to the trading floor and play cards with him, … poker, bridge — any sort of game where there’s a...

Education is for freedom – freedom from mental slavery.

I’ve called every coach of every school I’m interested in to let them know my times.

He has the accolades. He’s the best Montana high school (player) ever. Period.

Academia is to knowledge what prostitution is to love; close enough on the surface but, to the nonsucker, not exactly the same thing

He is one of the best shooters I’ve ever seen. I wanted that record to go. The school is very excited about it. I wanted it to go so we could concentrate on the game.

I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my...

It seems obvious now: the child who spends school days in a fog of semi-comprehension has no way to know her problem is not that she is slow-witted.

Then the door flew open and Mr. Faulks told us to head over to the gym. I thought that was really smart. Get all of us in one place so the aliens didn’t have to...

I think, obviously, as the valleys warm up and get more sunshine and as the high school spring sports kick in, there are more activities in the metropolitan areas that compete with skiing and snowboarding.

I don’t believe in school prayer. I think it’s total nonsense…who is the teacher there that is going to have them pray? And is the teacher going to be Catholic or Mormon or Episcopalian or...

What’s the matter?” asked the teacher, seeing her bewildered fact.”Why—why,” said Elizabeth Ann, “I don’t know what I am at all. If I’m second-grade arithmetic and seventh-grade reading and third-grade spelling, what grade am I?”The...

Houghton was the last ‘independent’ educational publisher left. To get into the school market, Houghton was the last one.

I want to go back to high school, finish out until I graduate, get a prom date and hopefully receive some opportunities for a record, acting, or anything.
