College was a wonderful time - except, of course, when it was trying to teach you things.

When you introduce competition into the public school system, most studies show that schools start to do better when they are competing for students.

When I say, 'I don't care what white people think,' I mean that.

If you listen carefully to what a child is saying to you, you'll see that he has a point to make. So I listen. And I answer them just as seriously as possible. And if I don't know the answer, I'll tell them I don't know.

When I decided that I wanted to go to college, I wanted to be a school teacher for 7th and 8th grade boys because I felt that was an important time for them. I had gone astray at that point in my life and really wanted to help keep them from making the same mistake I had made.

These people marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education and now we've got these knuckleheads walking round.

The weatherman is always right. It's just his timing that's off.
