(when asked why he thought George W. Bush, after hearing that New York was under attack on Sept 11, remained in a Florida classroom, doing nothing, for several minutes) It`s obviously very disturbing footage. On the one hand, you see a reaction on a man`s face that he is clearly pained and shocked. I probably did the same thing sitting on my chair. I was completely freaked out and a little devastated. On the other hand, one does hope that in one`s leaders, that they have the instinct to spring into action, to take some action or make the appearance of taking some action. And I was disappointed to see that he didn`t do that, although I don`t entirely hold it against him because, frankly, I was as shocked and devastated as he was. Although I think flying around in Air Force One for 11 hours before coming back and landing in the White House was probably less forgivable.
- Ben AffleckAs they work hard for our children, America`s teachers often reach into their own pockets to make sure they have the best classroom supplies. I feel strongly that the federal government should help make up for their personal financial burden.
- John WarnerThe student body was huge at UT and you had to mature pretty quick, very quick actually. I enjoyed it and it helped me a lot in my life in general - not only in the classroom but on the baseball field as well.
- Roger ClemensGet in the game is more than just about sports, ... We want to support youth in their efforts to develop skills both inside and outside the classroom. And nowhere else is that needed more than for the displaced youth on the gulf coast.
- Swin CashI`ve known him since he was about 5 years old. I watched him grow up. In his school, in his community, he was always willing to help and always led by example. He brought out the best in other people in athletics and I think he set the example in the classroom by performing and doing the things he was asked of him.
- Jack JonesHe is very athletic and can really run the floor. He wants to be good. He takes care of his business on the court and in the classroom. He has a bright future.
- Dan AndersonIn any classroom, all children are not on the same level, ... When I was a high school teacher, I stood in front of the class and taught algebra. But I learned before I left that I had to walk down the aisles and look at each person`s paper and see what each person is doing. That`s my philosophy. You teach individuals, you don`t teach algebra.
- Donna KingIf you`re not able to take the time to get into a classroom setting and you`re wanting to make a career in motorsports, then I think is an ideal way to get an education in it. It`s also ideal for local drivers and the people that surround them. It will give them more of an idea of what they have to do to secure sponsorships for their teams, and as everyone knows, securing sponsorship for anything these days is a tough thing to do. This course, and this program, will get you started in the right direction.
- Ken WilliamsThe worst censors are those prohibiting criticism of the theory of evolution in the classroom.
- Phyllis SchlaflyWe are extremely proud of the classroom accomplishments of Jim, ... In my opinion this award is the most important one a college athlete can earn. An Academic All-American has found balance between their athletic discipline, academic area of study and their social life.
- Kevin McCarthyHaving spent intimate time with him, meeting in a small group with him, it kind of scares me that he would be in a classroom with girls.
- Ashley JohnsonI believe that people should get a second chance, but I do believe that Baylor is threatening the safety of their students by putting somebody like that in a classroom with girls.
- Ashley JohnsonActually, for some time now I have given some thought to opening a film school. But if I did start one up you would only be allowed to fill out an application form after you have walked alone on foot, let`s say from Madrid to Kiev, a distance of about five thousand kilometres. While walking, write. Write about your experiences and give me your notebooks. I would be able to tell who had really walked the distance and who had not. While you are walking you would learn much more about filmmaking and what it truly involves than you ever would sitting in a classroom. During your voyage you will learn more about what your future holds than in five years at film school. Your experiences would be the very opposite of academic knowledge, for academia is the death of cinema. It is the very opposite of passion.
- Werner HerzogEveryone has an interest or a talent that is probably going to be a great asset to their child`s classroom.
- Kate FordI was terrified of being a teacher. To stand in front of a classroom, the responsibility is boggling. Imagine! Standing in front of people!
- John Glover(He also managed to squeeze in some sightseeing: visiting the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall. Still, most of his energy was expended in the classroom, where he learned how to read and write Mandarin.) After awhile, I gave up writing, ... But I still could comprehend the characters.
- Cheryl BakerToo many vital education dollars that should be spent in the classroom are bouncing around in the federal bureaucracy.
- Mark KennedyWhen the FBI notified the school board of the teacher in question, Francine took action and he was immediately removed from the classroom. He never taught again.
- Andy BrownWe want to provide a link between the classroom environment and what you are doing outside of the classroom.
- Richard ClarkNow our students can get their classroom experience with us, and then do work at Hopkins. They can spend time in one of the richest research environments in the world, but still have that very small class size here.
- Peter HoffmanTechnology is a hobby of mine, and my wife has a Ph.D. in educational administrative technology. There`s all kinds of things around the house, ... Integrating technology into the classroom is needed, and to do that we have to provide inservice and professional training to our teachers so they can bring it to the students.
- James LewisCalls to ?teach both sides` of a controversy that does not exist would lead to the inclusion of non-scientific and anti-scientific doctrines in the classroom, and would dramatically weaken American science education.
- Ken MillerI started thinking about my relationship with my students; I`m this guy who comes in from book - and movie - land and descends on angel wings into their classroom.
- Richard PriceIt boils down to a handful of parents and teachers doing all the work ... a resource better used in the classroom than fundraising to go to Disneyland.
- Jim ThomasIt will be the opportunity to examine the under-capacity consideration, ... The most significant principle is protecting the classroom. We can make moves and juggle and at the same time still protect the integrity of the education process.
- George ThompsonSome of them really struggle. They`ve had zero classroom experience, zero teaching experience, and their first day in the classroom is almost the first time they have encountered students.
- Emily SmithObviously, we have an obligation to the students to have a positive school environment. You do that by having some stability throughout the classroom. Most principals want to have somebody in there for the rest of the school year, even if it means hiring a retired teacher.
- Greg KellyWhat`s most tragic is that this denial of basic education leads to over 1 million unnecessary child and maternal deaths a year. Moreover, children who have never seen the inside of a classroom are precisely those that face the most acute poverty, and should be the prime target of the international community if it is at all serious about realizing the United Nation`s Millennium Development Goals of halving extreme poverty by 2015.
- David ArcherIt`s awesome to work hands on. You get to get out of the classroom and come out here and bang some nails, ... It feels good.
- David HooperRookie year, shoot. You try to come in here and play as a rookie and it is very tough. It takes time and experience to learn this defense. It is not only in the classroom but is also on the field.
- Keith ButlerEducation comes first, and we haven`t been handling our business in the classroom.
- Ken CarterIf there`s a focus on (math and science), the library media specialist will be right there. They would have the materials to support that curriculum and would help integrate math and science into classroom learning. The schools are gearing up for that.
- Linda Williams(From blogs to frogs, school librarians are working to make sure every student succeeds.) If the classroom is the first stop in the learning experience, the library should be the next destination, ... School libraries are more important today than ever before.
- Linda WilliamsWe actually choiced our son to go here, ... I drive everyday from Parrish because I want to put him in a smaller classroom where I thought he`d do better. He seems much happier.
- Mary JohnsonKids come into the classroom and it`s very hands-on, ... Kids like this. After phys ed, it`s their favorite class.
- Alice WatersWhether it`s buying books or finding supplies or whatever to help teacher continue teaching, it really amazing to see something that seems so small on paper really affect kids in the classroom.
- Scott RobertsWe have a lot of great players but unless you come together as a team that doesn`t matter. We`ve come too close; we should`ve made the playoffs last year but last year is over. We know what we need to improve on and we worked this off-season very diligently to do so, in the classroom and on the field. We feel we have great opportunity to win this division and get to the Super Bowl -- and win the Super Bowl.
- Sam AdamsTo me, the school has grown so much in the last four years. Our playground is just another classroom. This is exactly what we needed.
- Heather MillerShe has shown the energy and enthusiasm to build this program. She has been associated with successful programs both on the court and in the classroom. We`re eager for her to get started and look for similar success from our volleyball program.
- Jim AbbottRemember the picture of the president in the classroom, being told of the attack by chief of staff Andy Card? The American people thought they were seeing a man suddenly thrust into a grave challenge no one could have anticipated.
- Howard FinemanI`m so touched. I had an awesome jam session in a classroom today.
- Jake ShimabukuroA Socrates in every classroom.
- AJ PierzynskiCommon sense tells us that we should focus our resources to benefit children, teachers and taxpayers by keeping dollars in the classroom.
- Al WallacePartisan politics has no place in the classroom.
- Allen AlleyBeing a Christian, I`m eager to introduce people to Jesus. I just don`t think I should do it in the science classroom.
- Allen SaleThe Wayne Education Building was the first classroom building that we have done on the Wayne campus.
- Amber HarrisIt is commonly agreed that children spend more hours per year watching television than in the classroom, and far less in actual conversation with their parents.
- Amy ColemanProductivity is going to be a critical issue. And it`s not just about getting more time for professors in the classroom. It involves reexamining the learning experience and restructuring faculty and the use of faculty time.
- Andre ParkerNot only is that a money issue, it`s a space issue. We may have to buy another (mobile classroom).
- Andy WindsorBecause textbooks are the backbone of classroom instruction, we must demand improvement so that our students can acquire the knowledge and skills they will need for more advanced learning.
