SCHOOLS...!!!
Schools are special places where your best childhood memories reside. You probably met your best childhood friend at school and can remember the funny things that happened during class.
You may have had a favorite teacher. You acted in a play, ran a marathon or had an embarrassing moment. You can never forget your first crush, your first date and your first dance at school.
Growing up with your friends gives you lifelong memories.
The droning lectures, the fun in the cloakroom, mischief, and pranks, and the companionship of friendsтАФthese memories make school a special place.
These school quotes emphasize the values of school education. Bring back old school memories with the writings of politicians, educators, poets, and writers. Relive the joy of childhood when you read their thoughts on school.
