I think young people don't really know that much about the Civil Rights Movement and about the history of African Americans in this country. It's not taught enough in school.
I went to Ohio University studying arts and history, and playing football. But I was only interested in girls, my pals and sports. I only did the minimum for school.
Dr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.
I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.
Like you can't have a car that can take the kids to schools on Friday and win the grand prix on Saturday, you can't make a microscope that can do it all.
I went to Sunday School and liked the stories about Christ and the Christmas star. They were beautiful. They made you warm and happy to think about. But I didn't believe them.
I've been in elementary education for years and my belief is that Christmas pageants in schools are little more than conditioning kids for the Christian religion.
I'm quite dyslexic in school. My dad let me figure out what I wanted to do on my own. My parents never really lecture me.

My earliest interest in game design came when I was in primary school, and my parents bought a Commodore 128 computer. I taught myself to write programs in BASIC, and then I made my own games.
I majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that; so this was just a step for me in that direction.
Design, to me, is part psychology, part sociology, and part magic. A good decorator should know what's going on in someone's marriage and how their kids are doing in school.
I believe public education is the new civil rights battle and I support charter schools.
Middle class families are struggling to send their sons and daughters to school. For many Americans, a college education is essential to future success.
I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.
I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.
In the state of Wisconsin it's mandated that teachers in the social sciences and hard sciences have to start giving environmental education by the first grade, through high school.
I believe education should be a right for every child, but tragically in many parts of world it is a privilege for certain children whose parents have money. There are 72 million children in the world who don't go to school and many of them are in Af...
