Grade Quotations
When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.
Mark Twain
Too often we act - ask our schools to be truant officers, our teachers to be truant officers, because we're giving them children who have, you know, they're not ready to learn. And if they're not ready to learn by the third grade, they know they're behind.
Colin Powell
Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?
William Glasser
Running a school where the students all succeed, even if some students have to help others to make the grade, is good preparation for democracy.
William Glasser
Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.
Mike Krzyzewski

It got so bad that by the time I was graduated, the only reading I did was in order to get the grade and the only writing I did was in order to get the grade.
R. A. Salvatore
All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things.

One rainy Sunday when I was in the third grade, I picked up a book to look at the pictures and discovered that even though I did not want to, I was reading. I have been a reader ever since.
Beverly Cleary
Otis was inspired by a boy who sat across the aisle from me in sixth grade. He was a lively person. My best friend appears in assorted books in various disguises.
