Student Council Star Mugs

'As a beginning teacher, you know you come here prepared to teach and become a good teacher. As you gain experience, you will learn that you also come here to care and become a great teacher.'

"Could I ask just one question?"

"You know what happens when you make good grades? They send you to another school called college."

"It's not fair! I only got 100 on my English test!"

"Should we put down what we think is right, or what we think you think is right?"

"Being the smartest girl in third grade is going to Melinda's head."

"Hey, there's Sara, padding her college-entrance résumé!"

"That's lovely darling, but I don't think that's what your teacher meant when she asked you to draw your family tree..."

"There are no dumb questions, Billy, but there are plenty of dumb answers!"

"It's so good to see them studying so hard. Gracie does it because of her thirst for knowledge. Baldo does it out of self-defense."

'I'm having a hard time balancing homework and family time.'

"SUPERintendent! What kind of powers do you have?"

"Great! I've finally mastered all my competencies and my teachers still have most of their hair."

'I'm so proud of Trevor for getting an early start on his negative campaign for Student Council.'

'He's the teacher's pet. She keeps him in a cage in the back of the class.'

"Sorry, but no. I can't lend you a student to help clean up your yard."

"Are you sure you're not assigning too much homework? - I don't want to end up overqualified."

'My mind was a million miles away today, but that wasn't far enough.'

"Your school report is brilliant! It's going straight into the fireproof box for safe keeping..."

'See, this is proof that your criticism of our educational system is right on!'

'I'm Stacey, whose mother is the proud parent of an honor student.'

"I hope that this is just a riot of passage."

"Just teachers' lounge will suffice, Ed."

'It's hard to believe that at home, she's a mommy.'

'My classmates voted me most likely to succeed!'

We have too many students! I know. Send them home!

'Hello, Mrs. Horton? Could you please stop by school this afternoon?'

'I'd like to run for class president but I don't want to put my family through a background check.'

'I'm considering a run for class president. Do we have any skeletons in our closet I should first know about?'

"I teach ... to impact a life."

'Instead of being just like Michael Jordan, I wanna be just like Barack.'
