How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teen-ager who wants to stay out all night?
There are no new sins....the old ones just get more publicity.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.
The teacher sent this note home with one of her students, "If you won't believe everything Johnny says about school, I won't believe everything he says about home."
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.-Mark Twain (1835-1910)
Walking through the hallways at the middle school where I work, I saw a new substitute teacher standing outside his classroom with his forehead against a locker. I heard him mutter, "How did you get yourself into this?"
Knowing that he was assigned to a difficult class, I tried to offer moral support. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Can I help?"
He lifted his head and replied, "I'll be fine as soon as I get this kid out of his locker."
It had been snowing for hours when an announcement came over the intercom: "Will the students who are parked on University Drive please move their cars so that we may begin plowing."
Twenty minutes later there was another announcement: "Will the twelve hundred students who went to move 26 cars return to class."
