I liked school, but I used to dread those moments when the teacher would call me up to give an oral report.

That's how I am. — Steven Wright

I never read in school. I got really bad grades-D's and F's and C's in some classes, and A's and B's in other classes. In the second week of the 11th grade, I just quit.

One of the reporters must have flunked journalism school because he asked a question that went straight to the point. — Sayings

Journalism schools are good to get a job, but I don't know what else they are good for. I don't like the word "journalism" to begin with.

At school I was always trying to con my teachers into letting me act out book reports instead of writing them. — Laura Linney

By the end of the semester [in the high school] I was the only one up in front of the class everyday.

For years, we just accepted the premise that the reporters from that J-school mentality of neutrality and objectivity were just laying out the facts.

I loved writing for the school newspaper. I liked to report and interview people, but I really liked to write columns, funny columns. — Bonnie Jo Campbell

What I remember most from reporting both the stories are the women. Going into the first piece, I didn't have a super fixed idea about abortion. I'd helped a high school friend get to a doctor once. I always assumed that what a woman did was up to her. But I could also see the pro-life point of view that human life should be sacred in whatever gestational form. — John H Richardson

I was one of those whose school report would always say, 'Could pay more attention.' I spent my time trying to be the centre of attention or the class joker instead of knuckling down. Far from the perfect student. — Suzanne Shaw

In some big cities [in Pakistan] some women have access to a job and education - but the UN reported that more than 5 million girls cannot go to school. It's become an open secret.

Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates.

So Kim Kardashian is getting a divorce, 72 days after a wedding that is variously reported to have cost $10 million or more. Just to put that in perspective, that sum could have built 200 schools in poor countries around the world for kids who desperately want an education. Then Kardashian could have helped transform the world, not just entertain it. And the schools would have lasted incomparably longer than her marriage. — Nicholas D. Kristof

If I made laws for Shakers or a school, I should gazette every Saturday all the words they were wont to use in reporting religious experience, as "spiritual life," "God," "soul," "cross," etc., and if they could not find new ones next week, they might remain silent. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I'm hip, we've got a problem in this country. I really shouldn't be held up as any model of hipness. If anything, I think I'm sort of old school in my approach to objective reporting and not wearing my opinion on my sleeve. There's a lot of that in American TV news these days. Too much, in fact. — Anderson Cooper

I want high school report cards to look like this: Playing with Gentle Glass Things A Computer Magic A Writing Letters to Those You Love A Finding out about Fish A Marcia's Long Blonde Beauty A+! — Richard Brautigan
