Sayings About School Environment

#1. Many of the world's greatest geniuses all had in common that they were pulled from the school environment. They were freed to discover the undiscovered. They had the imagination to 'see' a different way and the drive to try to build what they had seen.

Kytka Hilmar-Jezek

#2. I had a hard time at school because I worked, so I was quite often out of school, which meant that I didn't make many friends. It can happen to child actors, because you're not in the school environment. And I did miss that school environment and being around people.

Yasmin Paige

#3. My school in St. Louis is great. They basically created a program where I can do online classes and independent studies when I'm traveling. But then I still get to go home and take classes in a normal school environment.

Karlie Kloss

#4. Our schools are filled with this potential energy, and we need to create an environment for that energy to manifest itself.

Phil Keoghan

Andres Duany

#6. There was quite a lot of lying around in fields at Stonar, a small independent girls' school in the country near Bath. It was a non-selective school and the right environment for me: academically not particularly pushy.

Romola Garai

#7. I was going to public school in the post-World War II, the grey doldrum years. But I was in this extraordinary environment of Manhattan, of Greenwich Village, of bohemian parents.

Anne Waldman

#8. Duke is in extremely competitive environment. In my high school, I think I got one B my whole four years. I was used to being the smartest kid in every class I was in, and then I went to Duke and suddenly I was the dumbest kid in every class. Everybody there is up to something.

Mike Posner

#9. School is something that you learn - reading and writing. Education is what you learn from the family, from the environment, from the community.

Marlee Matlin

#12. School is such an encouraging and safe environment. It's filled with idealism and just really working on your craft. When you enter the business world - where art meets commerce - it can become quite depressing.

#13. High School. Society's bright idea to put all their aggressive, naive youth into one environment to torment and emotionally scar each other for life.

John Dykstra

#19. Because you live to love and love to live/ And because of what your heardrum will give/ Now we might love to live and live to love.

Preston Sturges

#21. Public education must be viewed from the lens of providing each child with the learning environment that best meets his or her needs. If we can send a low-income child to a parochial school, knowing that his odds of attending college will increase as a result, then that should be our mission.

Jeb Bush

#22. Most of my writing friends are working in academia. Most of my business school friends are always talking about bringing companies public, and money, and making money, and lots and lots of money. It's just a different environment.

Victoria Chang

#23. Until I was eighteen, I did not know that you could study fashion design or art. I really didn't know. I already had my nose in the art world; I was already looking at things, but I didn't really get it that you could study that because my school was a very different environment.

Raf Simons

#24. I believe that feeling like a human, behaving like a human, responding like a human to others and to your surrounding environment is the key to living a fulfilled life in the city.

at all levels of education
will help students realize that school isn't supposed to be a polite form of incarceration, but a portal to the wider world.

Connor Franta

#32. I felt excited to go to school, and that scared me. I knew it wasn't the simulating learning environment I was anticipating, or seeing my new set of friends.

Stephenie Meyer

#33. Character Education helps to create an environment for caring and learning in schools.

Bre Pettis

#40. By the second time I sang by myself in school, I just realized that I was more in control of my environment than I had ever been before.

Seinabo Sey

#41. Until the end of elementary school, I lived in a suburban area, so the type of village I used to live in is borderline between village and the city, so I'm familiar with the rustic environment.

Bong Joon-ho

#42. In 1970, Dean Robert Ebert offered me the Chair of Pathology at Harvard Medical School. I moved to Harvard because I missed the university environment and, more particularly, the stimulating interaction with the eager, enthusiastic, and unprejudiced young minds of the students and fellows.

Baruj Benacerraf

#43. I think I was quite lucky in that I went to an all-girls school. I was never put in an environment where I had to be the other - the woman as opposed to the man - all the way through my education. I was never made to feel that way at home.

#44. I've never worked as hard as when I was at drama school. It's the most professional environment I've ever been in.

James McAvoy

#45. There is an old saying that you're a product of your environment. Parents can only do so much when eight hours of the day is spent at school. As parents, we try to teach our kids to be respectful to others and teach them old values, but a lot of it is down to the schools.

Tamer Hassan

#46. All of us, you, your children, your neighbors and their children are everyday geniuses, even though the fact is unnoticed and unremembered by everyone. That's probably because school hasn't encouraged us to notice what's hidden inside us waiting for the right environment to express itself.

Peter Kline

#47. When a child is given a little leeway, he will at once shout, "I want to do it!" But in our schools, which have an environment adapted to children's needs, they say, "Help me to do it alone." And these words reveal their inner needs.

Maria Montessori

#48. Life is a never-ending school, and the really important lessons all tend to teach humanity our proper relation to the environment where we must live.

Clarence Darrow
