The storm could have gotten here a little later than predicted. If it arrived during the morning, when the school buses were on the road, we would have jeopardized students’ safety.

Your mission statement says Galer Street is based on global “connectitude.” (You people don’t just think outside the box, you think outside the dictionary!)

Everyone bought into it. There’s just too many good players at our school to put up with that.

Because whipping an atlas at Jackson’s head while he was flirt-touching that Frankie girl in geography would have been very satisfying. And beating him with the Eiffel Tower snowglobe while he kissed Cleo in French...

Shake structures. School yourself. Look twice at a thing, once upside down. Answer yourself clearly.

Creationists have also changed their name … to intelligent design theorists who study ‘irreducible complexity’ and the ‘abrupt appearance’ of life—yet more jargon for ‘God did it.’ … Notice that they have no interest in...

If the old saying is true, that what one generation learns in school is the philosophy of the next, then the philosophy of the next generation will be totalitarianism.

You can’t have a goal without determination, because without the determination the goal will die.

Parents, don’t invest in your child’s teaching; invest in your child’s learning.

We all touch Windows at work or at school, whether we like it or not.

You have to die because no soul has passedThe heavenly threshold since you have opened school,But grass grows there, and rust upon the hinge;And they are lonely that must keep the watch.

When we unnecessarily elongate the process of “learning to read,” we postpone “reading to learn” – learning itself – by years.

They’ve broken the school record in every meet they’ve ran in this year.

I’m assuming you have a reason behind this irrational need to conform to this institution.” (Eric)

Nobody in school is stronger than me. But when Sally Holmes kissed me, I never felt so weak in all my life.

Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it,...

Josh Funk and Hunter Fraser: we haven’t been in touch in years, but you made me feel like the funniest kid in the world. I would stay up late on school nights to write things...

Nalaman kong ang mundo, sa totoong buhay, ay hindi ‘yung makulay na murals nanakikita sa mgaa pre-school. Hindi ito laging may rainbow, araw, ibon, puno, atmga bulaklak.

Ultimately, classroom teachers are the targets of this anger, as they are the public face of the education system. As a group, teachers work very hard with limited resources. They are called upon to equalize...

It is wrong to say that schoolmasters lack heart and are dried-up, soulless pedants! No, by no means. When a child’s talent which he has sought to kindle suddenly bursts forth, when the boy puts...

I look like prep school Barbie,” Nudge complained, as she entered the kitchen. She caught sight of me in my uniform and looked mollified. “Actually, you like prep school Barbie. I’m just Barbie’s friend.

I think the key indicator for wealth is not good grades, work ethic, or IQ. I believe it’s relationships. Ask yourself two questions: How many people do I know, and how much ransom money could...

Wouldn’t the world be a much better place if we didn’t make it past the age of maybe 10? Think back to when we were younger, before we were so easily influenced by adults. We...

Last year, millions of students didn’t graduate from high school. They didn’t drop out, they were simply in elementary and middle schools.

Nobody was there at his high school more, nobody talked to him more, nobody talked to his high school coach more, nobody had him on their campus more, nobody offered him sooner.

The entire committee realizes that to close any school is not an option.

It was one of the best high school performances I have ever seen. It wasn’t that he passed so much. He made it look easy.

He should have called the school if there was a problem.

If. If Mingus Rude could be kept in this place, kept somehow in Dylan’s pocket, in his stinging, smudgy hands, then summer wouldn’t give way to whatever came after. If. If. Fat chance. Summer on...

I’m not for two high schools. I think it’s a one-high-school town.

We were recruiting a player who had a coach from another school using the NFL as a negative about our program, … The player said to him — and I’m not making this up —...

Every human is a school subject. This is rather a metaphorical way of saying it, to put it straight, those you love are few, and the ones you detest are many.

…he would tell stories about the Holy City, about Solomon, a just king, a poet-king, a monarch with a thousand concubines. We weren’t quite sure what concubines were, but we guessed: a concubine … Concubines!...

To be enslaved then, you needed to be ignorant. To be enslaved today, you need to be knowledgeable.

When I went to school every teacher had a BOARD of education.

They said that you would never make it, but you did. They said that you would quit, but you persevered and fought through every obstacle that came your way. They said that you didn’t have...

I used to think of California as in the vanguard. Now its school spending is among the bottom 10. We need to increase school funding by more than the trivial amounts being talked about.

So many people spend years (and money) studying to be doctors, lawyers, actors, dancers, business executives and scientists – when you’re an author, you can be any of these things, and you don’t need a...

Umpires typically turn their back on the rule. Unfortunately, we can’t assume every umpire is going to be old school and turn their back on it.

The child, unhampered, does not waste time.

The human heart is my school.

Once, I ordered two thousand lady bugs from the local garden center and set them loose in the atrium. I sprinkled marigold seeds in the ficus planters and put gold fish in the lobby fountain....

Prison for the crime of puberty — that was how secondary school had seemed.

Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these...

An exceedingly confident student would in theory make a terrible student. Why would he take school seriously when he feels that he can outwit his teachers?

Back in grade school, my shrinks tried to channel my viciousness into a constructive outlet, so I cut things with scissors. Heavy, cheap fabrics Diane bought by the bolt. I sliced through them with old...

Disgusting cardboard it is!

The preachers and lecturers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves. Why, a free-spoken man, of sound lungs, cannot draw a long breath without causing your rotten institutions to come...

The school buses were controlled by the school board, not the mayor, … You can’t blame the mayor for that.
