Everybody had an opinion for or against ... With the school bond, people are much more ambivalent.

I really thought this was going to be it. We thought we weren't going to school (today).

Jeri Waken

They're an absolute blessing for our school.

Toby Miller

As we add preschool, we will do a school-by-school analysis at that point to see how many classrooms they have and if we had a preschool class do we still have room for child care. If not, this (the centralized daycare) becomes an option.

Amber Terry

I saw right away that high-school wrestling was a lot more intense. The matches are longer and there is a lot more conditioning needed because you're going against wrestlers that are a lot more experienced. It took a little time to adjust to that.

Adam Schuh

In grade school, I was a complete geek. You know, there's always the kid who's too short, the kid who wears glasses, the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three.

Rubie Jenkins

This is going to be a wonderful resource for us. It will fit in well to improve the health of the kids, and fit more exercise into the day, which in effect will make them better learners.

Kathleen Mccarthy

I've had that situation in high school a few times and I've been pretty successful.

I would have rather had a league title for the school and the kids, but it's an accomplishment I'm proud of.

A big pie in the face of investors will be Tyco, whose numbers are in shambles. Tyco's numbers when they come out will have a bigger impact on the market. It will make EDS look like Sunday school.

Jon Brockman

I've known Rich since he was a kid and he definitely was my choice to take over the program. I can remember coaching Rich as a freshman in high school and even back then he was busy scheming plays and trying to think of new patterns that would work on the field.

Darren Yafai

One of our main goals for the club is to make this as a fundamental of good writing for the students. And maybe someday, they can write a persuasive paper that they can propose to the principal for some changes upon the school.

Aaron Day

No. Losing is losing, and you never get used to it no matter if you're in high school or college or the big leagues.

When you looked in his eyes, and you talked about Palmetto High School football and about what we wanted to do here, you could see clear down into his soul how bad he wanted to be a part of this and what it meant to him. That impressed me.

Bob Carroll

These subjects were not only on a killing rampage, but they were going to destroy the school.

John Stone

We expected to see Palm Beach, Broward and Dade schools coming to the museum. But we're getting school groups booked from as far away as Wisconsin. That gives a whole new meaning to Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale.

Irvin Lippman

We're moving toward being a billion-dollar company, and we needed to formalize our development like other large companies do and not rely on the on-the-job training I had. These are things that are critical to running our business but aren't things you naturally learn in law school.

Gregory Jordan

Those are the kinds of folks we want keep here in Indiana. They have demonstrated success in high school, and (the citizenship winners) have also demonstrated an ability to be involved in the community.

Cheryl Watson

All the needs are different. That's crazy that one school has something that another one doesn't. That's just good ole boy politics that's been going on for years.

Mark Gregory

I don't know exactly what happened, but somebody made a mistake at the school. He's back on the team now. Height-wise, he provides a physical presence, so helpfully with him back we'll be tougher. It makes the bench a little deeper, so that's great.

Tommie Patterson

My very first job I emptied bedpans in a nursing home in New Jersey. It led me to go to law school.

Anne Dalton

Our findings of decreased high school drinking have been replicated in several other national studies and using a variety of measures. What is also clear is that college drinking is not in decline.

John Pryor

He was the type of player that loved to take on a defense by himself. He had that next-level ability to always break down the first defender and that creates a lot of problems for a defense. And he could do that from his sophomore year in high school.

Tom Ryan

If I had one goal, it would be to help the president and other members of the board get the positives out there and continue to hammer home that it's a great school.

Allen Hopper

Our projected deficit for the June 30, 2007, school year is $2.3-million.

I've always seen historical interpretation as a learning experience, just as much as high school teaching. It's an engaging way to explain history to people.

Tom Kelleher

The intention is to ensure the longevity of the program after the founders pass on. Right now we see a glorious future for the school.

Paul Seibert

I would encourage a new updated cost analysis of school choice. I think if the cost is not significant, I would move to keep it.

Wesley Ritchie

He may be the No. 1 kid left on their board. There might've been some high school kids that were a little bit higher, but, to tell you the truth, as it got further into the recruiting process and further into the season, Brent Schaeffer definitely emerged as one of their top, if not the top guy on their board.

Jeremy Crabtree

I decided to become an actor because I was failing in school and I needed the credits.

Dustin Hoffman

It does nothing to help school districts.

Clayton Downing

Those two kids that threw today are both good high school pitchers and the problem is we expect too much out of them. You're not always going to throw perfect pitches, they were both off a little bit and Central did a good job of hitting.

Terry Stephenson

I'm sure it's harder in public school. I just had to work extra hard to make sure I could play with them.

Malisa Bumpus

He was pretty much responsible for hiring the faculty early on in that department. His confident leadership helped to develop the School of Planning into the excellent program that it is today.

Tom Wagner

Every law school is going to have its strengths and weaknesses, but no set of rankings can take all these into account evenly. It's still nice to see us ranked in the top 50.

Chris Carson

It needs to be more job oriented. We need to keep kids in school. Teach a trade and keep kids from dropping out.

Terry King

Being in a place like the Royal Ballet School and part of an environment where there is so much discipline, where everyone works so hard, it just completely occupies your life. You literally live it and breath it every single day; it becomes who you are. And that, I think, is very good preparation for really anything you do in life.

Will Kemp

I know it will be a lot of work with school and practices, but I think I'm ready.

Amy Simpson

I don't think that's ever been done in school history, winning four Long Island championships in a row. Each time we make history, it's exciting. It's exciting to move on to try and get our ultimate goal.

Brittany Fuller

There is no one teacher, no one school and no one system that can meet all the complex and diverse needs of each child. But a community united in such a cause can.

Cindy Taylor

We feel like the judge's ruling is too restrictive and it will apply not only to us, but apply to Cobb County School board members now and forever, and the only way we can do anything about it is to appeal to the Supreme Court.

Curt Johnston

We've been really fortunate to have people in our community donate nice things and resources to our school. We want to protect that. It's the people in our community's money, gosh darn it.

Bob Ralston

Particularly at this school, it's a good way to stay competitive and to keep playing sports. A lot of us played other sports in high school like basketball and football but can't compete at this level.

Jack Gaynor

We want to enrich the experience students have at the high school and forge stronger connections between students, teachers and parents.

Jay Petrek

Kids need to be connected to the school and they need to feel someone cares about them. In a large school setting it can be extremely impersonal. There's nothing worse than a student in a large setting not being connected to anything. That's the height of loneliness.

Gary Griffiths

Don't peak in high school.

Lizzy Caplan

He played a lot of slot in high school. Based on his history, he could probably help us there.

Todd Monken

I don't think there's one school out there that will dominate this year. It's nice to know that you will be able to go out every game and play hard and have a realistic chance to win.

Amanda Wood

He always had it so easy. He was so much better than anybody else in high school. Now the competition was catching up with him and he was having trouble staying on top of the learning curve.

Warren Moon

He's used to being out in the open, free to do. It wasn't like going to high school. This is only my opinion, but you're put in a dorm and you're restricted; it was almost like being in a prison.

James Nichols

I remember when I went to school here that after five there was no interaction with the community and the school, but now it seems that [the Goose] is part of campus. It's pretty exciting. We think the spot is right where it should be.

Frank Slutsky

You better not wear red in our school this week, ... unless it's Georgia red.

Richard Smith

The cost of an Ivy League school to a West Coast family is not the same as it is to a family say from Nebraska.

Roger Hughes

School means I have to do homework. That takes up my time when I should be riding my dirt bike.

Richard Walker

It's nice for them to know that if they catch a name in their neighborhood, they can come up to the school, even if it's locked, and see where that kid is going to be.

Mary Cherry

This is a very big rivalry. I think these are the two toughest teams, high school level, in Tennessee. It's always very close with two goals.

Colleen Taylor

The abusive person usually doesn't understand the game and are usually the loudest. Fans see officials abused on TV, and they think it's fine to do it on the high school level.

Sue Wilson

It's a matter of someone doing the legwork to contact those churches and have them put it in every Sunday bulletin, ... And these are economically feasible ways to advertise. The NAACP branches aren't going to charge the school districts. The churches are going to be ecstatic the districts contacted them.

John Jordan

It gave me an opportunity to be able to pay for school, and a jump start on a good career. I'm going to be getting out and going back to school to study electronics hardware and design in the Green Bay area when I get out.

Travis Hill

That kid is a great running back. As the saying goes, he brought the funk -- he ran hard, buddy. He ran real hard. That's why he's a Division I prospect as a junior in high school.

Jeff Hollis

Some of these people I haven't seen since high school.

David Whitehead

I had to miss school, and I had to have half my head shaved.

Carol Bellamy

I have a daughter in college, my son is still in high school, and my parents live in Smithsburg.

Daryl Wolfe

They need to be demanding. They need to be role models in the community, the school and with participants. Foremost they have to be a friend of the players on and off the court or field.

Brent Holtz

We've got kids in school now that probably aren't going to get any money.

Ricky Smith

[Noting that the school is] very close to my home, ... because I like their platform educationally speaking. They have some very good intentions musically and I'm very interested in that.

Oscar Peterson

We've swam every school we need to except Blue Springs, so we know going up there we're not the fastest team, but there shouldn't be anyone there that should surprise us.

Dayna Powell

This was an incredible breakthrough for her. She now knows that she can compete with anybody in the state, regardless of school size.

Bill Devine

Jeffrey brought wrestling back to the school. He brought wrestling back to Gary.

Tom Powell

It helped that we played the same defense from the time we were in the AAU program to when we were in high school. It's a big-time advantage to have that much practice.

Corey Boon

I think they're going to have to get a broader base of kids that are behind them. To have it be the most successful, it would be good to get a small group of kids from each group in the high school.

Kate Clanton

We were the little school that surprised a lot of people back then. Little tougher to do that nowadays.

Roger Mazzarella

What if someone forecloses on a house halfway through? Do their kids still get to go to that school?

Roger Dearing

He set the school record for the most receptions in a season.

Thomas Morgan

I decided to run (for the school board) because of my interest in education and my educational background. I believe I have a good understanding of how the school system operates.

Arlene Sukraw

We just don't have a kids' program, middle school, that's why (the Seamount League doesn't) come to state and don't do (well).

Chris Stone

It's very clear that our school districts need an awakening.

Roger Tilles

It's mainly just being in this spot where Coach Robert said we're going to take players out of our own school and groom them into football players.

Andrew Sherwood

The governor's proposal is a great start, but we'd like to see it expanded to all school districts.

Dennis Poust

Most of what was passed will have very little impact at the high school level.

Tom Meixner

I came to St. Francis (High School) for the art program.

Sam Gauss

We're working hard on that. We're working hard with each school.

Rick Chryst

He had a knee operation when he was in high school. He's never missed a game with the knee problem in the N.B.A.; never missed a practice or game. The only thing he's ever missed any games for in the N.B.A. was for an elbow operation.

Rod Thorn

He was always smiling, never hated on anybody...he was a good guy, school ain't gonna be the same without him.

Mike Ramirez

People are confused and think there are one group of homeless. Thirty percent of the homeless that use the shelter are employed, a third have high school diplomas and 10 percent have college degrees. Only 6 percent are on public assistance.

Jim Featherstone

The best part of the project is that it is creating awareness among school children which will ensure a better future for our country.

Ajay Maken

That was something that really was a gamble. But I think the site we have chosen will avoid that type of problem, as well as potential problems that are associated with construction of a new school facility.

Scot Mcneley

That profile is more common than not. There is a shortage of teachers of color and particularly African-American males at the elementary-school level.

Leroy Jones

When legal opinions diverge, as they have here, legislative clarification is essential in order for school districts to move ahead operating on a level playing field. We'd just like to know what the rules are.

John O'sullivan

I'm always busy filming something - I document everything I do, I've found out that I can put it to use and all my old stock footage friends, memories, school events...here it is all into this one video with my narration over it, spreading the word.

Bessie Coleman

I know the school board has been wrestling with a whole lot of issues.

Tevis Herd

Ninety-five percent of our children live in poverty, ... It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that they probably don't have computers at home. Most of our children do not have any computer access except at school so they are behind the learning curve of other children.

Jim Edwards
