There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.
In North America, more than half of all children travel to school by bus. We need a similar programme in London.
Patrick: My life is officially an after school special.
The American school system's a little warped, so anyone can get a degree if they have a little money.
A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.
I always hustled to make money and pay for school. I was never afraid of hard work.
I'm the old-school, letter-writing romantic. I know it's out of style, and not a lot of women go for that these days, but that's what I go for.
I was a bit of an introvert growing up, and I tended to do better in math and science at school, so I went with it.
I have exercises that lead participants to discover for themselves that their deepest fulfillment comes when what they're doing is of benefit to larger society in some way. This really knocks some for a loop - especially those schooled in the 'take n...
The teacher is commodified, the school is a shop, the subjects are consumer goods. To read, to think, to reflect, isn't a question of want, it's a question of need.
Cultural dominance of middle-class norms prevail in middle-class schools with a teacher teaching toward those standards and with students striving to maintain those standards.
I was fantastically well versed by the time I left school. I had a teacher who put 'A Clockwork Orange' my way, and 'Catcher in the Rye.'
When I first came to Los Angeles, I was a teacher in Compton. I know how in need schools are around the country.
I enjoyed school - although I ran away on the first day. I'd reminded the teacher that it was nearly time for 'Watch With Mother' on TV.
I'd love to go back to school for philosophy. I love philosophy, so I'm always reading philosophy books, annoying my girlfriend with that type of stuff.
I ended up turning down a full scholarship of music at the conservatory to pay to go to cooking school.
I had an opportunity to play baseball in college, but I just didn't want to go to school. I started focusing on my music and it was game over!
We weren't allowed to have secular music in the house growing up. I was home-schooled, and gospel was the only choice we had.
I feel 'Britannia High' is aimed at an older audience than 'High School Musical.' 'Britannia High' is more of a serious drama, with the music and dance on top.
I don't know whether schooling would have helped me get farther along in music at this time. I doubt it would have.
What you need to learn how to do is analyze situations and do differential diagnoses and understand the principle and the concepts rather than learn all the details, and medical school doesn't begin to do that.
