My school was 90 percent white, but 90 percent of the kids I played with were black. So I got the best of both worlds. I think that is where my comedy developed.
Reading... there have been millions and billions and billions and gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you could have - with your parents, with school, with a bully, with anything. There's no problem you can have that someone hasn't already solved and wrote about it in a book.
I had a hit single on the radio for 30 days before I graduated from high school.
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.
I cheated at school. I remember on one occasion I wrote some history dates in pen on my leg. So when there was a question like 'What year did that happen?', I'd lift my skirt up and have a look.
To base education on one standardized test on one day is an abomination to education. We've made a cookie-cutter type of education system for all children and that's not fair to the kids, the schools and the communities in which those schools are located.

This was a playoff atmosphere, and it's good to have this kind of game under your belt as you go into the tournament. Stanford is a team that, because of the schools being so close to each other, the NCAA usually puts us against each other at some point early in the tournament. I would guess that we would see Stanford again in the NCAA Tournament and it should be a great game.
What is frightening about this case is the fact that Noyes had regular contact with school children on his bus.
To be honest, Dr. Bull's presence just helps me feel more optimistic about our school system. He has brought a new energy to the community and certainly to the staff and teachers.
Bill has had a lot of success on the field, but his character and integrity off the field and in the classroom is just as impressive. He's truly an ambassador for our school system and he does so many things that will be missed.
The governor himself did not put pressure on Haralson County. We felt pressure because all the other schools in the state were closing. It was just what the governor said. We felt pressure from that.
We're hoping to get a few more schools for this and then as many as we can get for the Monday night competition.
