One of the best indicators of student achievement is the academic success of the mother in the home.

We can't want an education for kids more than they want it for themselves.

Poverty can't be an excuse for bad teaching, but teaching can't be the only thing we do to combat poverty.
teacher kids self
If you're a teacher you have to teach the curriculum, all that stuff, you have to teach morals, you have to teach values, and you have to teach, all-importantly, self-control. Because a lot of kids don't have it.

I am looking forward to getting to do things I have never done before.

teacher jobs teenager
Teaching high school in an inner-city school is not an easy task. Every teacher is responsible for 150 teenagers. The amount of work is just mind-boggling. Remember, you're not just doing a job. You have these kids' futures in your hand; you have to inspire them.
ties people said
I did Vibe, and I felt old and paternal. I've got ties older than people in that audience. I had a talk with myself. I said, You've got to deal with this better.

Boxing changed my life. It's like a drug; you can't believe how great it is! Let me tell you something, you hit somebody on the chin, the guy goes down, the crowd roars...Wow! You really feel something!
