Famous quotes containing the word school:
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
