I had no student friends to talk to about literature. My tutor was a really nice man, very charming - but he had no literary judgment.
I would warn any minority student today against the temptations of self-segregation: take support and comfort from your own group as you can, but don’t hide within it.
I feel like I am in turbo mode as a student of entertainment.
It is not enough to simply listen to student voice. Educators have an ethical imperative to do something with students, and that is why meaningful student involvement is vital to school improvement.
One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California. . . If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.
Education is a matter of the spirit. No wiser word has been said on the subject, and yet we persist in applying education from without. No one knoweth the things of the man except the spirit of man which is in him; therefore, there is no education but self-education, and as soon as a young child begins his education, he does so as a student. Our business is to give him mind stuff. Both quantity and quality are essential.
The teacher has not taught until the student has learned.
We need to understand where are students are at any point during a unit - in other words, what each student actually knows, understands, and can do at a given time based on the content goals we've established.
[James Mattis] is a student of history. He's a strategic thinker.
Nothing more can be attempted than to establish the beginning and the direction of an infinitely long road. The pretension of any systematic and definitive completeness would be, at least, a self-illusion. Perfection can here be obtained by the individual student only in the subjective sense that he communicates everything he has been able to see.
So when I was beating the guy, I started thinking, 'What if I was Hannah Montana?'. . . And little do they know that that's why I look so insane. . . I'm torturing myself with thoughts of, 'How could I actually pull off being a high school student and a pop star at night?'
Among Hispanics, there is little change in popularity from a grade point average of 1 through 2. 5. After 2. 5, the gradient turns sharply negative. A Hispanic student with a 4. 0 grade point average is the least popular of all Hispanic students, and has 3 fewer friends than a typical white student with a 4. 0 grade point average.
I went to high school in the 1970s and was a real daydreamer and not the best student.
Every campus, of course, also has its rabble of young "liberals," who are forever making a din as they "demonstrate" for "world peash," "snivel rights," and the like, and who, if we may judge from their appearance and their yammering, are as afraid of war as they are of soap. I am sure that every student here present fully understands the importance of staying on the good side of the young "intellectuals" -- I mean the windward side, of course.
A discursive student is almost certain to fall into bad company. Ten minutes with a French novel or a German rationalist have sent a reader away with a fever for life.
I've always felt that I did well as a student because I lacked confidence.
The student is to read history actively not passively.
I'm a dad, I'm a husband, I'm an activist, I'm a writer and I'm just a student of the world.
I want to become a student. I want to read Chinese history and go on a dig.
When the student is ready, the messenger appears.
