'Your classroom management techniques work in practice but not in theory. That worries me.'

'I'd like to challenge the test.'

'The reason the core curriculum seems so ambiguous is that we dot really have a core curriculum.'

'I know I can train them to be thoughtful productive citizens if I can ever get past sit.'
