Schoolwork Quotes

I approached the bulk of my schoolwork as a chore rather than an intellectual adventure. (Steven Chu)

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I - if I'm not interested in something, I don't grasp it.

Richard Branson

I go into the make-up chair one hour before my call. I get make up, hair, and costume all done up and then I sometimes have a bit of breakfast. We start filming, and go until around lunchtime. I am not used in every shot so when I have breaks I go in my room and do schoolwork. After lunch we go back work, I go on and off set a normal day. When we wrap for the day I go home and relax or go swimming or maybe to the movies.

The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning. But where a child comes from a less supportive home environment, where there are family tensions perhaps, their schoolwork can suffer. They need to be taught to think and study for themselves. (Sugata Mitra)

When you home study, you get a better education. I basically got to teach myself. Being naturally able to make my own opinions about the schoolwork I had to deal with, instead of being instructed under the tutelage of the teacher, was really nice academically.

They did not put much value on my capacities, which were admittedly few, but genuine. I read everything, I wrote constantly, and I had boyfriends by the barrelful. "Why don't you do the assigned reading?” they'd ask. "Why don't you write your papers instead of whatever you're writing-what is that, a short story?” "Why don't you expend as much energy on your schoolwork as you do on your boyfriends?” By my senior year I didn't even bother with excuses, let alone explanations. "Where is your term paper?” asked my history teacher. "I didn't write it. I have nothing to say on that topic.” "You could have picked another topic.” "I have nothing to say on any historical topic.”.
