I hated high school. Ugh. I couldn't wait until it was over so I could sleep in. In college I made sure all my classes were in the afternoon. I hated getting up in the morning.

Each of our children during their high school years went to 'early morning seminary' - scripture study classes that met in the home of a church member every school day morning from 6:30 until 7:15.

Oh I have this feud going with the L.A. Unified School District because I keep getting these phone calls saying my daughter keeps missing classes I mean at all hours of the night I had like two calls this morning and I keep calling saying I haven't got a daughter!

I went to dance classes from 9 in the morning until 1 then to school from 3 to 10 at night always under the threat that if I failed a single course I could forget about dancing.

Everybody gets everything handed to them. The rich inherit it. I don't mean just inheritance of money. I mean what people take for granted among the middle and upper classes which is nepotism the old-boy network.

A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races parties classes religions cultures regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends.

My mom put me in dance classes when I was 5 years old.

I was two years old when my mom put me in mommy and me classes. I always had a lot of energy so it was the perfect fit!

The rule with my mom was that the only way that I could be an actress when I was young was that I continued to go to public school and get straight A's in all my classes.

When I was really young my mom enrolled me in dance classes.

There are three classes of men lovers of wisdom lovers of honor and lovers of gain.

I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.

I acted in theater and I took film classes when I was 12 and just obsessed over it. I loved it and spent hours and hours in the film studio learning and watching.

Acting classes I guess are good and I would like to maybe sometime take one. But I would feel like I was learning someone else's technique. I like mine.

If you feel your school is failing you the question is why. Is it a lack of parental involvement large classes school violence poor learning environment? Are there any standards to determine where problems are? Are there tutoring or mentoring programs? If the school is still failing after 3 years then what are your options?

Children don't just play any more - they're far too busy learning to fence and taking extra French classes. In the end you're actually doing more damage to your children by trying to hot-house them. It's far better to remain a calm parent.

It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
