“I used to think that teachers who gave homework on weekends should be forced to grade papers for an eternity in hell.”

“I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.”

“When I’m a teacher, I won’t be using red pens to grade papers. Red pens will forever be associated with criticism and bad grades in my mind. I don’t want this person to get their short story back with harsh red pen marks all over it. Purple is much friendlier.”

“Watcha doin’?” Caeden flopped down on the couch beside me.“Homework, you should really try it sometime.”He snorted. “You don’t even know what grades I make.”“I’m sure they suck.”

“Teachers knew every one of the students, their secrets, their grades, their home situations. And all the students knew the teachers. It was like teachers were people who finally were the most popular at school.”

“I don't care who the student is, teachers should never be condescending. That should be the first rule in the teacher handbook.”
