I was a smart kid, but I hated school.

I had a ninth grade teacher who told me I was much smarter and much better than I was allowing myself to be.

Often times the public school teachers are ridiculed or they are made to feel inferior but this is really undeserved.

I'd like to say I was smart enough to finish six grades in five years, but I think perhaps the teacher was just glad to get rid of me.

I saw myself as a teacher's pet but with a little of Ed Haskell mixed in. I was the teacher's pet, but that didn't mean that I was trying to pull one over.

I still consider myself a working-class girl and would send my kids to public school.

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.

I was probably the one who tattled on the class clown. To get in good with the teachers.
