Bear Quotes
Shops were ransacked, cars were burned, schools were burned, hospitals were burned. Yes, lots of people were arrested, and this is a normal reaction. It would happen everywhere in the world, including the United States itself when it had riots in its major cities. Now these people will face criminal charges, and if they are found guilty they will bear the consequences of their deeds. If not, they will be released, just like any judicial process in the world.

Awful Quotes
Situations in low-rated schools like Jasper (County) are very frustrating, ... We spend an awful lot of money training people and developing them in these underperforming schools, but at the end of the year, these teachers are taking the training and experience and moving on to better districts.
-
Bilingual Quotes
One out of four students that we have in the county schools speak another first language. It's helpful to have bilingual teachers to be able to communicate with parents. In some cases, the students may speak English but the parents may or may not speak English. And it's critical to communicate with the parents.

Attract Quotes
My education in the public schools of New York City between 1932 and 1944 was an excellent preparation for a life in science. Because of the Depression, these schools were able to attract a remarkably talented and dedicated collection of teachers who encouraged their students to strive for the highest levels of accomplishment.

Artists Quotes
Musicians in New Orleans and the Central Gulf Coast need our help. And beyond the professional musicians, there are hundreds of churches, schools and community groups that lost their instruments and gear and simply do not have the funds to replace them. ... Together with the artists and with Gibson Guitars, we are able to make a real difference--not just for those individuals and groups whose instruments we replace, but for the health of the whole region.
-
City Quotes
Money for schools is given through tax money. Every year there is a plan of what revenue is expected. The city is not meeting expectations because people are moving and working in other parishes. Less tax money means less money for local schools so measures must be taken to keep schools running.
-
Bands Quotes
Obviously, it's for the musicians, to get the bands back together and play some music, because a lot of these guys don't play anymore. But, our main thing, one of the constant things, is that we give band instruments to the high school and middle schools (of north central Wisconsin). That's the really big thing that we do.
-
Against Quotes
One of the biggest factors was a lack of officials ... the commissioner of officials (Bert Haskins of Merced) said he just couldn't supply enough during the winter. Also, the schools in the northern half of the section were against it for lack of fields. A lot of those schools have freshman teams.

Board Quotes

Stronger public schools ought to be the mission of the Board of Education, and it's time they got down to the real business of strengthening Kansas schools.

Accepted Quotes
If they didn't have the grades to get in here out of high school, then no matter what they do in junior college, they're still not going to be accepted into Truman. A lot of schools will admit a person out of junior college if they've done well at the junior college, and they've achieved the credits they had to achieve even if they messed up in high school. That's the difference.
-
Based Quotes
If they were the first school to offer me, I would have committed right then and there. They're right in my back yard. All these other schools are recruiting you from out of state, and this school's five minutes from your house. They should have been the first school to offer me. I pretty much based my decision off that.
-
Across Quotes
I have been to high schools all across Montana. If you haven't been to them look lately, I will take you to them, across the street, down the alley, across the parking lot, on the noon hour, before school, after school and I will show you where high school students are learning to smoke.

Check Quotes
I'd love to study in the U.S. I visited Vanderbilt in Nashville, and I've been told to check out Ole Miss. There are so many schools that I don't really know where to start. But I do love the U.S. and have met so many supportive and enthusiastic people here while I've been on tour. I could definitely live here!

Concerned Quotes
I am by principle concerned that our country's future will be jeopardized because such an education scheme will further divide the country. Utah's schools are good; they are not struggling like the Washington D. C. schools are where vouchers were recently enacted. The recent Florida Supreme Court ruling indicates serious constitutional questions if the Legislature adopts a program where the state even indirectly supports a second private educational system.

Accepting Quotes
But there have been a lot of myths about how special schools are very special, with more one-to-one and so on, with not a lot of evidence that that is the case. What there is evidence of is that if children with special needs mix with others, it helps to make people in society more accepting of difference.

Assistance Quotes
Basically, the food stamp caseload has gone up a lot. The biggest increase is in people who are not getting any kind of cash assistance but they need help with food. It's bus drivers and every once in a while someone from the military and people who have 10-month contracts with the schools and they are out of work two months in the summer.
-
Achieve Quotes
Basically, it's like taking seven steps backward from what we're trying to achieve in the school system. If we start this City Schools Foundation, do we have to use that kind of money to fill the void, which doesn't help that situation at all? If we get this thing off the ground this first part of the year, and we start out in a $7 million hole, that's not going to help.

Academic Quotes
I had a son who wanted to play college basketball, so this is what we did. We made up a resume sheet that had his picture, academic and athletic information, and then put together a good tape that showed some highlights of his season. After that we picked out 50 or so schools that he was interested in, and then mailed the packets. Then we followed up with phone calls. We ended up getting a great response. He signed with a school in Nebraska (York College) and got to play a few years before hurting his knee.
