"Because if you couldn't read, you wouldn't be an adult - because adult knowledge is written down."
"...these teenagers really are something like a plague!"
"Umm teenagers! So you look for your garlic or whatever to keep them away."
"There's no such thing as an average Year 9 kid - they're all completely different."
"...which is good, but it's a real pain to live with."
"Late adolescence is... well, who knows when that happens."
"If you don't know any jokes, buy a joke book. At least the kids will laugh at your bad jokes."
"If the kids bug you, don't let them know they bug you."
"Compared to WW2, it's nothing."
-on children's misbehaviours.
"Chances are, if you want something done, you get kids to do it. They'll do it properly."

"You see Super-Nanny and you see programmes about training dogs - there are a lot of correlations between them."
"I'm gonna get you, and I'm gonna fix you!"
"So we had a long talk about how, uh, to show affection in more appropriate ways."
"In fact, it's just about impossible to just hold the ball and not bounce it."
"Schools only work if the children allow them to be. Fortunately, kids haven't figured that out."
"...or is it you? Are you the problem? Maybe you are."
"It's the easiest thing in the world - giving up, eh?"
"And kids sometimes just do stupid, dumb things."
"He didn't have to call out to get my attention - he was gonna get it!"

"I think the world has got enough cynical people."
"...people who believe, people who hope, people who have ideals."
"Train yourself to notice."
"I'd hate to be a student teacher. Cause here's the thing -

"Before we get lost in mathematical concepts I know nothing about..."
"I thought, 'Orbitals? Orbitals? Orbitals?', and I was going around in circles."
"Helping students to make their own sense. Not sense - their OWN sense."
"If I thought, 'God, this is getting tedious', I start to count the words."
"Even a very stupid marker will be able to read that one."
"Range means more that one. And valid means... not invalid."

"Not that Europeans ever saw any Mongol people."
"These people are perfectly capable functioning as human beings if they're allowed to."
"I told you it was an amazing story."
"There's something weird about our system."
"Except for last weekend, when my roses looked like they're gonna... die."
