Famous quotes containing the words average, student and/or grade:
“...you dont have to be as good as white people, you have to be better or the best. When Negroes are average, they fail, unless they are very, very lucky. Now, if youre average and white, honey, you can go far. Just look at Dan Quayle. If that boy was colored hed be washing dishes somewhere.”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young childs life...But Ive often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our childs lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around, and nearly every book represents what my sons third grade teacher refers to as a teachable moment.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
