School Quotes

When I was a kid, I had trouble at school because of my learning disabilities. Carving is my body compensating for the lack of other skills Picture Quote #1

I really love school, but I’d love to continue acting jobs if I can Picture Quote #1

Students who read the most also read the best, achieve the most, and stay in school the longest. Conversely, those who don’t read much cannot get better at it Picture Quote #1

The system that had grown up in most states is that wealthy districts with an affluent population can afford to spend a lot more on their public school systems than the poorer districts Picture Quote #1

If you could find a major city that actually had a functioning, good public school system, you should buy all the real estate Picture Quote #1

I became the head of the household. I went to school in the morning and sold wines all afternoon until seven o’clock in the evening Picture Quote #1

I knew what type of player I was: a free agent, a small kid who came from a small school Picture Quote #1

In my life, there have always been people who guided my path, towards the school, towards this company. I didn’t know about any of it. I didn’t have a plan. It’s good fortune and generosity from other people that have given me all I have today Picture Quote #1

If you can’t be pretty, you have to learn to make yourself attractive. I found that all the pretty girls I went to high school with came to middle age as frumps, because they just got by with their pretty faces, so they never developed anything. They never learned how to be interesting. But if you are bereft of certain things, you have to make up for them in certain ways. Don’t you think? Picture Quote #1

I must admit that I am not a member of the ugly school. I have a great regard for certain notions of beauty even though to some it is an old fashioned idea. Some photographers think that by taking pictures of human misery, they are addressing a serious problem. I do not think that misery is more profound than happiness Picture Quote #1

Any company executive who overcharges the government more than $5 million will be fined $50 or have to go to traffic school three nights a week Picture Quote #1

Do we really need school? I don’t mean education, just forced schooling: six classes a day, five days a week, nine months a year, for twelve years. Is this deadly routine really necessary? And if so, for what? Don’t hide behind reading, writing, and arithmetic as a rationale, because 2 million happy homeschoolers have surely put that banal justification to rest Picture Quote #1

I was friends with all different people and all different groups. And that led me to being friends with a few people who didn’t even go to my school. Now I have the most amazing collection of friends of all ethnic backgrounds and upbringing and financial backgrounds Picture Quote #1

Peer pressure is something everyone will face in school. You have to really go by what you think is the right thing to do. Turn to the friends you trust the most when you are put in a compromising situation. If your friends are making the wrong decision, then turn to your parents Picture Quote #1

Anyone who would attempt the task of felling a virgin forest with a penknife would probably feel the same paralysis of despair that the reformer feels when confronted with existing school systems Picture Quote #1

If the school sends out children with a desire for knowledge and some idea of how to acquire and use it, it will have done its work Picture Quote #1

The problem is compounded by the fact that the connection between cause and effect seems so improbable. By turning on the lights, filling the kettle, taking the children to school, driving to the shops, we are condemning other people to death. We never chose to do this. We do not see ourselves as killers. We perform these acts without passion or intent Picture Quote #1

Everyone is gonna have a bad day, everyone is gonna have a bad game. The questions are: How do you recover? What builds your character? I decided one day early on in high school that I wanted to be great at basketball, not just a good basketball player Picture Quote #1

If I wanted to be a doctor today I’d go to math school not med school Picture Quote #1

Education is learning more than it is being taught. It’s the chemistry of curiosity exposed to information. In that sense all of life is potentially school. And even I can pass that Picture Quote #1

The sole justification of teaching, of the school itself, is that the student comes out of it able to do something he could not do before. I say do and not know, because knowledge that doesn’t lead to doing something new or doing something better is not knowledge at all Picture Quote #1

I was really running a music school back then, because my band wasn’t making any money. I keep talking about money, because most people don’t understand the part of money in running a band Picture Quote #1

Wearing a bath towel around the school yard and pretending it’s a cape doesn’t mean you have magical powers Picture Quote #1

Your chemistry high school teacher lied to you when they told you that there was such a thing as a vacuum, that you could take space and move every particle out of it Picture Quote #1

In 2005, a man diagnosed with multiple myeloma asked me if he would be alive to watch his daughter graduate from high school in a few months. In 2009, bound to a wheelchair, he watched his daughter graduate from college. The wheelchair had nothing to do with his cancer. The man had fallen down while coaching his youngest son’s baseball team Picture Quote #1

I teach high school math. I sell a product to a market that doesn’t want it, but is forced by law to buy it Picture Quote #1

It’s time to admit that public education operates like a planned economy, a bureaucratic system in which everybody’s role is spelled out in advance and there are few incentives for innovation and productivity. It’s no surprise that our school system doesn’t improve: It more resembles the communist economy than our own market economy Picture Quote #1

A school is a place through which you have to pass before entering life, but where the teaching proper does not prepare you for life Picture Quote #1

I didn’t used to care about living a long time. Not that I wasn’t enjoying life, but I never sat around asking how I’d get to be 100, you know. But now I want to live long enough to see every school child in the world getting a good, nutritious lunch every day Picture Quote #1

To the girls that gave me a hard time in high school. I want to say thank you. This is a victory for all the nerds out there Picture Quote #1
