To change the media, you're gonna have to totally throw out every journalism school and get rid of everybody in every newsroom, and then you're gonna have to change the grade school and middle school and high school curriculum.
I remember I was in grade school, the fourth grade, in a free reading period in the library. Someone in my class found a copy of the Forbes 400, a list of the richest people in America, and my dad's name was on it.
My father was in Congress when I was born. He was mayor my whole life from when I was in grade school - first grade - to when I went away to college.
My entire high school career - my entire school career - I've been like three feet taller than everyone in my grade.
I was in elementary school in Mississippi, and when Katrina hit, my mom put me in home school. So ever since sixth grade, I've been home schooled, which was interesting.
I didn't go to high school, and I didn't go to grade school either. Education, I think, is for refinement and is probably a liability.
In fourth grade I had a high school reading level, but I didn't want to go to school and I didn't feel I belonged there.
In grade school I was smart, but I didn't have any friends. In high school, I quit being smart and started having friends.
I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.
I was a bad dater, and up until 8th grade I went to an all boy's school. So, by the time I hit high school I was a bit freaked out by women in general.
I got the writing bug in the fourth grade when a poem of mine was published in the school newspaper. Music criticism came a little later, when I was in high school.
I played tournament chess from fifth grade up into high school.
I grew up going to public school, and they were huge public schools. I went to a school that had 3,200 kids, and I had grade school classes with 40-some kids. Discipline was rigid. Most of the learning was rote. It worked.
I loved school. But when I started 'Party of Five' in the fifth grade, I was taken out of school and tutored on the set.
I was at a public school until I was in sixth grade when I moved to New York.
I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.
For me, sports is a big part of my life. It helped me through high school. It helped me get better grades, because if you don't have good grades, you can't play sports.
Before I got Doctor Who, I went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I went back to take the final grade exam, which is the grade you have to take before you can take the teacher's diploma.
Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?
In our Nation, approximately 22.5 million children ride school buses to and from school each day, which accounts for 54 percent of all students attending grade school.
I have a lot of memories of Falls Church. I went to grade school in Madison Elementary School.
