With a lot of help from my high school teachers, I went to college and became a medical tech at a clinic outside Kansas City. ~ Karolyn Grimes
High School Teachers quotes by Karolyn Grimes
I think we need more math majors who don't become mathematicians. More math major doctors, more math major high school teachers, more math major CEOs, more math major senators. But we won't get there unless we dump the stereotype that math is only worthwhile for kid geniuses. ~ Jordan Ellenberg
High School Teachers quotes by Jordan Ellenberg
Sure, the job of high school teachers is not to tear down students' self-esteem. But it's certainly not to inflate students' sense of self-worth with a bunch of unearned compliments and half-truths. ~ LZ Granderson
High School Teachers quotes by LZ Granderson
Can the future hsitory of the world be so fragile that it will not allow two high school teachers to meet and fall in love? To marry, to dance to Beatles tunes like "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and live unremarkable lives? ~ Stephen King
High School Teachers quotes by Stephen King
Skill teachers are made scarce by the belief in the value of
licenses. Certification constitutes a form of market manipulation and is plausible only to a schooled mind.
Most teachers of arts and trades are less skillful, less inventive, and less communicative than the best craftsmen
and tradesmen. Most high-school teachers of Spanish or French do not speak the language as correctly as their
pupils might after half a year of competent drills. Experimentsconducted by Angel Quintero in Puerto Rico
suggest that many young teen-agers, if given the proper incentives, programs, and access to tools, are better than
most schoolteachers at introducing their peers to the scientific exploration of plants, stars, and matter, and to the
discovery of how and why a motor or a radio functions. ~ Ivan Illich
High School Teachers quotes by Ivan Illich
You know those high school teachers who so quintessentially and stereotypically embody their subject matter that it is as if they were cast by a director? Mr. Carter was like that. I did not know they still made glasses like his glasses. He told us his dog was named "Dooty," short for Dooty Dexy, which is a phoneticized version of the calculus formula for second derivatives. ~ Katie Heaney
High School Teachers quotes by Katie Heaney
I did my English A level in England, and we studied Shakespeare. I had great, great high school teachers, and we parsed the text within an inch of its life. ~ Joss Whedon
High School Teachers quotes by Joss Whedon
Encouragement from my high school teacher Patty Hart said 'you need to focus and theater might be your route out of here.' I created the program, went to college and graduate school and now here I am. ~ Jeffrey Donovan
High School Teachers quotes by Jeffrey Donovan
Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses. ~ David E. Kelley
High School Teachers quotes by David E. Kelley
I always knew the teachers were out to get me. ~ Amy Joy
High School Teachers quotes by Amy Joy
I don't get pat down, you know what's on the waist,
I don't mean Jazz when I say I "count base."
Fly Louis sneakers, Purple Tape coming out the speakers,
Bumped into my high school teachers,
They said I wouldn't be nothing, sitting on the bleachers.
Now I'm sitting in the Phantom, trynna figure out the features.
I'm a big fish now, I watch for the leeches. ~ Sheek Louch
High School Teachers quotes by Sheek Louch
A Minneapolis, Minnesota high school teacher hung this sign under the clock in her classroom. "Time will pass ... Will you?" ~ James E. Myers
High School Teachers quotes by James E. Myers
As with any great literature, there are probably as many ways to read William Faulkner's writing as there are readers. There are hundreds of books devoted to interpretations of his novels, numerous biographies, and every year high school teachers and college professors guide their students through one or more of the novels. But after all is said and done, there are the books themselves, and the pleasure of reading them can be deep and lasting. The language Faulkner uses ranges from the poetically beautiful, nearly biblical to the coarse sounds of rough dialect. His characters linger in the mind, whether for their heroism or villainy, their stoicism or self-indulgence, their honesty or deceitfulness or self-deception, their wisdom or stupidity, their gentleness or cruelty. In short, like Shakespeare, William Faulkner understood what it means to be human. ~ William Faulkner
High School Teachers quotes by William Faulkner
To do exciting, empowering research and leave it in academic journals and university libraries is like manufacturing unaffordable medicines for deadly diseases. We need to share our work in ways that people can assimilate, not in the private languages and forms of scholars...Those who are hungriest for what we dig up don't read scholarly journals and shouldn't have to. As historians we need to either be artists and community educations or find people who are and figure out how to collaborate with them. We can work with community groups to create original public history projects that really involved people. We can see to it that our work gets into at least the local popular culture through theater, murals, historical novels, posters, films, children's books, or a hundred other art forms. We can work with elementary and high school teachers to create curricula. Medicinal history is a form of healing and its purposes are conscious and overt. ~ Aurora Levins Morales
High School Teachers quotes by Aurora Levins Morales
We really think it is a good thing for scientists to spend a little bit of their time either in the community or in schools or helping to train high school teachers. ~ Thomas R. Cech
High School Teachers quotes by Thomas R. Cech
While campaigning, I got to know many high-school teachers, and let me say that the good ones are the unsung heroes of our society, and the bad ones are the gravediggers. ~ Gore Vidal
High School Teachers quotes by Gore Vidal
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. ~ Adam Riess
High School Teachers quotes by Adam Riess
On the first day of middle school I wore high-heeled shoes that you weren't allowed to wear. I remember being so embarrassed because in every class I went to they kept pointing out that I couldn't wear these shoes. I wanted to call my mom and have her bring me new shoes! ~ Emma Stone
High School Teachers quotes by Emma Stone
It's about, when did it make sense to say one size fits everybody? It never ever ever made sense to do that, and yet we're still selling education the same way we sold it when you and I were in high school. ~ Mike Rowe
High School Teachers quotes by Mike Rowe
All of my high school issues are resolved! ~ Oscar Isaac
High School Teachers quotes by Oscar Isaac
Then he leaned over, right there in the restaurant parking lot, and kissed me. And it wasn't a friendship kiss, either. It was tender and real, and utterly romantic. ~ Janette Rallison
High School Teachers quotes by Janette Rallison
The young people I teach now know they are being sold down the river before we even start studying the trends and numbers. That's the toughest part of being a high school economics teacher ... being a witness when our children realize that the greatest deficit of all is a deficit of leadership. ~ Kurt Bills
High School Teachers quotes by Kurt Bills
Instead of just giving lip service to improving our schools, I will actually put the kids first and the teachers union behind in giving our kids better teachers, better options and better choices for a better future. ~ Mitt Romney
High School Teachers quotes by Mitt Romney
I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college. ~ William Mapother
High School Teachers quotes by William Mapother
In Boston they have gone from large autonomous high schools to smaller schools within the same building. ~ Michael Welch
High School Teachers quotes by Michael Welch
Every time I hear a politician mention the word 'stimulus,' my mind flashes back to high school biology class, when I touched battery wires to a dead frog to make it twitch. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
High School Teachers quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
I graduated from high school in '62 and I didn't know any people who were gay. I'm sure there were people, but I didn't know any. For years and years, I guess, I was very uptight about being a gay actor. I thought it would make me less hirable. ~ John Glover
High School Teachers quotes by John Glover
School teachers, taking them by and large, are probably the most ignorant and stupid class of men in the whole group of mental workers. ~ H.L. Mencken
High School Teachers quotes by H.L. Mencken
Around middle school I studied jazz guitar and ended up playing in a jazz band for a bit. But, after high school, I haven't even touched a guitar. ~ Mike Tucker
High School Teachers quotes by Mike Tucker
Half of all kids in public education are below the poverty line. Two-thirds of the achievement gap comes from factors outside of school. Teachers influence about seven to ten percent of what happens in kids' lives. When you think about those statistics, you have to think about how to re-envision education so it's holistic and so we share responsibility. ~ Randi Weingarten
High School Teachers quotes by Randi Weingarten
There were many ways in which I disliked my sister. A few years ago I could have shown you whole scribbled lists I had written on that very topic. I hated her for the fact that she's got thick, straight hair, while mine breaks off if it grows beyond my shoulders. I hated her for the fact that you can never tell her anything that she doesn't already know. I hated her for the fact that for my whole school career teachers insisted on telling me in hushed tones how bright she was, as if her brilliance wouldn't mean that by default I lived in a permanent shadow. I hated her for the fact that at the age of twenty-six I lived in a box room in a semidetached house just so she could have her illegitimate son in with her in the bigger bedroom. ~ Jojo Moyes
High School Teachers quotes by Jojo Moyes
When the time comes, & I hope it comes soon, to bury this era of moral rot & the defiling of our communal, social, & democratic norms, the perfect epitaph for the gravestone of this age of unreason should be Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley's already infamous quote:
"I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing... as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it's on booze or women or movies."
Grassley's vision of America, quite frankly, is one I do not recognize. I thought the heart of this great nation was not limited to the ranks of the plutocrats who are whisked through life in chauffeured cars & private jets, whose often inherited riches are passed along to children, many of whom no sacrifice or service is asked. I do not begrudge wealth, but it must come with a humility that money never is completely free of luck. And more importantly, wealth can never be a measure of worth.
I have seen the waitress working the overnight shift at a diner to give her children a better life, & yes maybe even take them to a movie once in awhile - and in her, I see America.
I have seen the public school teachers spending extra time with students who need help & who get no extra pay for their efforts, & in them I see America.
I have seen parents sitting around kitchen tables with stacks of pressing bills & wondering if they can afford a Christmas gift for their children, & i ~ Dan Rather
High School Teachers quotes by Dan Rather
School Library Journal
Gr 3–6 - This interactive manual is fun to read and even more fun to put into practice. From hopscotch to dodge ball, jacks to solitaire, and string games to memory games, all types of activities are included. Games to play with a ball, with cards, in a car on the go, alone, or in a group are all here to be enjoyed. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. There are also historical and factual asides for many of the entries. Some include variations on the main game or alternate names for the activity that have been used through the years. The illustrations depict children demonstrating a particular aspect of a game or just enjoying themselves playing. This is a great resource for parents and teachers, as well as for children. - Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA ~ J.J. Ferrer
High School Teachers quotes by J.J. Ferrer
Do you remember that kid that had sex with his high school teacher? I was reading online that he died today. He died from hi-fiveing. ~ Zach Galifianakis
High School Teachers quotes by Zach Galifianakis
As a matter of fact, I constantly tell audiences all over the world that the single greatest icon of American culture from the publication of "To Kill A Mockingbird" was that novel so that if we say, what conversation can we have that would lead us on a road of tolerance, and teachers have decided that if you're going to teach values in a school in America, the answer that American teachers at all kinds of schools have come up with, just let Harper Lee teach "To Kill A Mockingbird." And then all the teacher has to do is stand back and guide the discussion. ~ Wayne Flynt
High School Teachers quotes by Wayne Flynt
I went out with the same girl throughout all four years of high school. ~ Jesse Metcalfe
High School Teachers quotes by Jesse Metcalfe
I didn't know what my passion was until I discovered the dramatic arts in junior high and high school and I realized, 'Oh, I like this. This is something I feel like I'm good at.' But, the idea of moving to Hollywood and becoming an actor was really unrealistic. ~ James Marsden
High School Teachers quotes by James Marsden
By four years of age, the average child in a family receiving public assistance has heard about 13 million words, compared to 45 million for a child from a wealthier family. The disadvantages developed during their first four years are usually still present in high school. ~ Sal Albanese
High School Teachers quotes by Sal Albanese
It's not funny. How would you like it if your balls fled in fear? My balls haven't been this frightened since I dove into the icy water at the Polar Bear Plunge my first year of high school. ~ K.C. Faelan
High School Teachers quotes by K.C. Faelan
Only one comment seemed to perfectly fit her current situation. "I see dead people."
He leaned forward hands on his hips. "Me too. It's the only explanation for what's standing in front of me. Unless some high school kids broke into the anatomy closet and stole the classroom skeleton, stretched some cadaver skin over that bitch then cast an ancient ritual to animate it." She laughed. For as much as she now disliked the bastard she had to admit he was amusing. "Did they do the same to that shit you're wearing? You do realize it's 2008 right?" She raised a hand. "Wait let me see if I can reach you using your own language. You do ken 'tis year of our Lord two thousand and eight aye? ~ Jennifer Turner
High School Teachers quotes by Jennifer Turner
If you're a kid who was not especially a star in your high school, I recommend going to a college in the middle of nowhere. I got all the attention I could ever have wanted. ~ Mindy Kaling
High School Teachers quotes by Mindy Kaling
The main thing is to have a soul that loves the truth and harbours it where he finds it. And another thing: truth requires constant repetition, because error is being preached about us all the time, and not only by isolated individuals but by the masses. In the newspapers and encyclopedias, in schools and universities, everywhere error rides high and basks in the consciousness of having the majority on its side. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
High School Teachers quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired. ~ Janis Ian
High School Teachers quotes by Janis Ian
When I was in middle school, I always did well in school, but teachers either loved me or absolutely hated me. ~ Miles Teller
High School Teachers quotes by Miles Teller
Look. I don't expect you to spill your guts to me. Your business is your business. Dress how you want to dress. Let people wonder. Fuck 'em."
I smile.
Solo raised a finger. "But you've got to stop looking for a fight every time someone makes a comment. High school sucks for everyone."
I feel my smile fade, and I sit back in the chair. "It kind of feels like you're defending those guys."
Solo shrugs. "There will always be guys like Jim Vickers. But I'm not going to let them stop me from doing what I want. And neither should you. ~ Jeff Garvin
High School Teachers quotes by Jeff Garvin
I've always been very interested in political violence. When I finished high school, I did a small dissertation about political violence and fascism in Italy. ~ Loretta Napoleoni
High School Teachers quotes by Loretta Napoleoni
I played in the percussion section 4th grade through high school - snare and timpani mostly. ~ Suzy Bogguss
High School Teachers quotes by Suzy Bogguss
What is learned in high school, or for that matter anywhere at all, depends far less on what is taught than on what one actually experiences in the place. ~ Edgar Friedenberg
High School Teachers quotes by Edgar Friedenberg
After high school I was going to be an architect. In fact, I was studying to be an architect when the audition for 'The Monkees' came along. ~ Micky Dolenz
High School Teachers quotes by Micky Dolenz
When I began doing theatre in high school I saw that I could get laughs from people but I didn't really connect that to going on and becoming a comedian. I was interested in acting and while I was at Boston College I was part of an improv group, Mother's Fleabag, which had a long history and has been known as one of the best college improvisation groups in the U.S. ~ Amy Poehler
High School Teachers quotes by Amy Poehler
Top Trumps appeared to be a game in which you got cards, and the cards had a picture (in this case, of a horse), and told you all kinds of stats for that horse, how fast it was, how big it was, etc. Whoever had the better horse won both the cards. You repeated this until someone had all the cards. So, basically it was exactly like high school, except it only took three minutes. Which was really a bit more humane, if you thought about it. ~ Maureen Johnson
High School Teachers quotes by Maureen Johnson
When I was in the third grade, I did my very best to fail every class so that the kids would like me and stop calling me a teacher's pet. It did not work out for me, though. My best attempts at failure in school garnered me an A- at best, and at my worst, I won awards for being the student of the month. -Mackenzie ~ Tara Michener
High School Teachers quotes by Tara Michener
I'd say I was a tomboy ... I took wood shop in high school and I was very into volleyball and football, and was very unaware of anything girly for a long time. ~ Marisa Miller
