Grade Quotes

I remember one time when all the nuns in my Catholic grade school got around in a semicircle, me and Mom in the middle, and they said, ‘Mrs. Farley, the children at school are laughing at Christopher, not with him.’ I thought, ‘Who cares? As long as they’re laughing.’ Picture Quote #1

I got into therapy in the fifth grade because I said in a sarcastic way that I was going to kill myself, and they didn’t get it then. Nothing’s changed Picture Quote #1

To change the media, you’re gonna have to totally throw out every journalism school and get rid of everybody in every newsroom, and then you’re gonna have to change the grade school and middle school and high school curriculum Picture Quote #1

I was badly bullied when I was in the seventh grade - relentlessly, mercilessly - by a group of 12-year-old girls. And it left me with a determination that no matter what, I had to throw my shoulders back, stick out my chin, and project a sense that no one and nothing could hurt me. That turned out to be a life-changing mistake Picture Quote #1

If children are reading well by the 3rd or 4th grade then everything else works Picture Quote #1

I wrote my first play as extra credit for my fourth grade English class. ‘Can Helen Stop Smoking’ was a satire on the ill effects of cigarette smoking. My friend Vicki Haugabrook played as Helen and I directed the show. At the time, my brother Vince was leading the campaign to get our grandmother to quit Picture Quote #1

Some points in time cannot flow. Think of those big-ticket moments, the ones you could still recite from fifth grade: your 1492 and Civil Wars, the Titanic and presidential assassinations. These are icebergs, solid and immense, forcing incalculable eddies to swirl around them Picture Quote #1

I created ‘Captain Underpants’ when I was in the second grade. I was constantly getting in trouble for being the class clown, so my teacher sent me out into the hallway to punish me. It was there in the hall that I began drawing ‘Captain Underpants’. Soon I was making my own comic books about him Picture Quote #1

If you don’t know the difference between dictatorship and leadership then you got to go back to a fifth grade civics class Picture Quote #1

There I am, in the Grade Six class picture, smiling broadly. Happy as a clam, is what my mother says for happy. I am happy as a clam: hardshelled, firmly closed Picture Quote #1

I grew up on the back of a motorcycle - my dad didn’t have a car until I was a teenager. And then my closest friend from grade school was a guy Picture Quote #1

Some of my very closest friends are my guy friends, going back to the third grade, so I believe in the integrity of the male-female friendship Picture Quote #1

If grade inflation continues, a college bachelor’s degree will have just as much credibility as a high school diploma Picture Quote #1

Like my grandpa, who dropped out of school to farm, I have a 4th grade education. Of course, I have a college degree, too. Both require the same reading level Picture Quote #1

I didn’t play soccer; I played that other football in grade school through college Picture Quote #1

I’m actually one of the few kids in my grade, especially girls, who didn’t end up going to college, just because I already knew what I wanted to do. I had already been actively working in music before I graduated Picture Quote #1

My father was in Congress when I was born. He was mayor my whole life from when I was in grade school - first grade - to when I went away to college Picture Quote #1

No one except Hollywood stars and very rich Texans wore Indian jewelry. And there was a plethora of dozens if not hundreds of athletic teams that in essence were insulting us, from grade schools to college. That’s all changed Picture Quote #1

I’d have to say that Nixon feels like the public figure who most dominated my life - from the time I went to fourth grade wearing a Nixon-Lodge button in the fall of 1960, through my college years, which overlapped with Kent State, Cambodia, the China trip and all the rest Picture Quote #1

I cried every day of first grade. In class. Which meant I ended up getting comfortable emoting in a place where it wasn’t the norm Picture Quote #1

The first comic book I ever bought, I was in third grade. It was ‘Avengers,’ I think, #240. I grew up in Kansas City. And I walked into a 7-11. I had seen, like, ‘The Hulk’ TV series. I knew about comic book heroes. I knew about it, but I hadn’t actually had a physical comic in my hands until that time. And it was a big deal for me Picture Quote #1

College is something you complete. Life is something you experience. So don’t worry about your grade, or the results or success. Success is defined in myriad ways, and you will find it, and people will no longer be grading you, but it will come from your own internal sense of decency Picture Quote #1

I started home school around sixth grade, but I’d only done a couple of national commercials. I remember I had this Spalding commercial with Paul Pierce from the Celtics, and I used to go to school, and people made fun of it. It wasn’t even cool to be an actor; you got made fun of Picture Quote #1

It took me nine years to get through the fourth grade. When I got into television commercials, I had to take a crash course in reading. I was 32 years old, and I couldn’t read the cue cards Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I’ll dress like a boy, sometimes I’ll dress like a Japanese crazy teenybopper. I have clothes from the 7th grade that I’ve kept and still wear Picture Quote #1

When you’re a kid you’re already trying to create your own world and organize the one in front of you, but then you get all insecure around 6th grade and don’t think you have a right to share that Picture Quote #1
