I could never let the teacher down. I always worked hard, too scared to get in trouble.

I remember teachers who really singled me out for their discouragement.

Most of my teachers probably found I made less trouble if they let me read.

Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.

My parents found me very difficult to educate.

I had a number of teachers who hated me. I didn't do well in school.

I had a lot of trouble in school to begin with. I got left back in kindergarten, and I was in special education. My teachers didn't have very much faith in me.

I'm embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little.

I've been a schoolteacher. I always try to get the kids to finish talking before the next one starts.

I always used to get in trouble for talking too much. When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
