best both kids percent played school
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.
book reading school
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.
school high-school radio
I had a hit single on the radio for 30 days before I graduated from high school.
school tests facts
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.
continued high increase mayor political public schools tenure wisdom
I think that conventional political wisdom was that there were high expectations with Mayor Schmoke going in. His tenure as mayor on a whole was disappointing, particularly with the continued deterioration of public schools and a substantial increase in crime.
buses enjoyed hate pick sad school seeing
It has a lot of history. I hate to see it not used. I always enjoyed seeing the school buses come up to the school to pick up the kids. It's really sad to see it empty.
experience extra good help life luxuries people proud radio school television took willing work
It has been a good experience for him. I'm proud that he took two years out of his life to live without luxuries -- like McDonalds and radio and television -- to help young people there. He does extra work for the nuns at the school on a farm, and I'm just proud he's willing to give of himself.
prepared schools
I think the schools are prepared for some reduction.
healthy indicator overly rely school
I think sometimes we overly rely on (test scores), and we think it is the only indicator of a healthy school system, and it's not.
army high kids parents possible potential recruit regardless school
I see high school as that first introduction between the recruiter and the potential applicant. So regardless of what parents do, it's possible that the Army will recruit their kids at some point.
brought buses forecast full middle morning school send sent struggled turn worst
We really struggled this morning. I had a lot of discussions with Dewitt and the transportation people. Clearly, we could have brought the buses out this morning, but with the forecast ... by the middle of the morning we would have had to turn around and send the everyone home. Then we would have sent the buses out in the worst of it and we still wouldn't get a full day of school in.

We have a lot of excitement at the school for baseball this season. We have about 30 kids out for practice and they are looking forward to the season.
access audience core curriculum gotten history key larger learn match maybe people preserving response school small talent tremendous wants
We've got people here who have a talent for preserving and interpreting history and an audience who wants to learn about it. And the key is to match them up. We've gotten a tremendous response from the small schools. Those communities are tight-knit, where the school is the core of the community, and where they maybe don't have access to the larger curriculum of other schools.
