“I think I always wanted to be an actor - sounds a bit boring, doesn't it? And I pretended once that I wanted to be a vet because one of the teachers asked me and saying you want to be an actor sounds a little bit silly. And I do still feel a bit silly saying it. You feel a bit fraudulent.” ThinkingWantFeelsLittlesStillsWantedActorsBitsSoundTeacherLittle BitBoringSillyVets Author:Sophie Thompson
“The Assembly passed a budget that makes the right choices for young students across the state by helping schools avoid cutting essential educational programs, laying off teachers and increasing local property taxes. Without a sound investment in our children and their education, New York would face crumbling school buildings, overcrowded classrooms, and few opportunities to excel.” ChildrenStatesHelpingSchoolFacesYoungChoicesOpportunitySoundTeacherCuttingNew YorkStudentsBuildingTaxesEssentialsProgramOur ChildrenPropertyInvestmentEducationalLocalsBudgetsClassroomAssemblyRight ChoicesCrumblingMake The Right ChoiceYoung StudentsProperty TaxesEducational ProgramsSchool Buildings Author:Jose Peralta
“Some autistic children cannot stand the sound of certain voices. I have come across cases where teachers tell me that certain children have problems with their voice or another person's voice.

“The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it. We are plainly told in the Scriptures that in the last days men will not endure sound doctrine and will depart from the faith and heap to themselves teachers to tickle their ears. We live in an epidemic of this itch, and popular preachers have developed “ear-tickling” into a fine art.” MenArtRealChristianLastsFightingSpeakSoundChristianityTeacherFineSmartDevilEarsEndureScriptureDoctrinePreacherFine ArtsEpidemicsSpeaks OutLast DayGood ChristianCounterfeitReal OnesTicklingSound Doctrine Author:Vance Havner
“Fifty years ago, teachers said their top discipline problems were talking, chewing gum, making noise, and running in the halls.

“Back in the day for me was a great time in my life - I was in my 20s. Most people refer to their experiences in their twenties as being a highlight in their life. It's a period of time where you often develop your own way, your own sound, your own identity, and that happened with me, when I was with a great teacher - Miles Davis.” PeopleWaySoundTeacherHappenedIdentityPeriodsTwentiesMilesGreat TimesGreat TeacherHighlightsBack In The Day Author:Herbie Hancock

“I would start by writing to an adult, maybe a high school teacher, or maybe an aunt or uncle, and writing and telling them why you want to go to a particular university. That's probably what you would actually sound like. Then write your letter to the university, and put those 2 versions in front of you, and look at the difference between those 2 things.” WantWritingLooksSchoolSoundDifferencesTeacherFrontsParticularHigh SchoolAdultsLettersUniversityVersionsUnclesAuntSchool TeachersHigh School Teachers Author:David Sedaris

“"Little Brother" sounds an optimistic warning. It extrapolates from current events to remind us of the ever-growing threats to liberty. But it also notes that liberty ultimately resides in our individual attitudes and actions. In our increasingly authoritarian world, I especially hope that teenagers and young adults will read it - and then persuade their peers, parents and teachers to follow suit.” WorldLittlesActionYoungIndividualParentSoundAttitudeLibertyTeacherGrowingEventsBrotherAdultsThreatNotesYoung AdultCurrentsOptimisticSuitsTeenagerWarningPeersLittle BrotherCurrent EventsParents And TeachersThreats To Liberty Author:Dan Gillmor
“Wherever possible, home is by far the best nest until at least eight, ten or twelve. Psychologists and psychiatrists who understand child development would prefer an even later age. In a reasonably warm home, parent-child responses, the true ABC's of sound education, are likely to be a hundred times more frequent than the average teacher-child responses in a classroom.” ChildrenHomeAgeParentSoundTeacherDevelopmentTenHundredResponseAverageEightWarmClassroomTwelveNestsPsychiatristPsychologistChild DevelopmentParent ChildAbc's Book:Homestyle Teaching Source: Homestyle Teaching
