Even if I had a tuxedo I wouldn't wear it to school.
I went to school on Senior Skip Day.
What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.
I want to see more sports in schools.
There is no schooling for fame and success. You learn as you walk.
To this end the greatest asset of a school is the personality of the teacher.
I like reading. I just hate school.
I was honestly never a huge school person.
I have studied at the school of the world.
The wealthiest Sudanese don't know what war is. Their children are safe in school.
I believe in God. Maybe not the Catholic God or even the Christian one because I have a hard time seeing any God as elitist. I also have a hard time believing that anything that created rain forests and oceans and an infinite universe would, in the s...
The recasting of the Origin Myth as a story about the perils of disobedience precipitated a kind of decoupling of scripture from religious experience: when religious authorities began to insist on the literal truth of scripture, they were effectively...
