Anderson: So I don't see how you could turn "Gatsby" into an urban-themed movie called "G". Unless of course, we watch it. Which we are going to do. Right now. (excited pause) Anderson: Just kidding.

Stein: Can you guys stop looking up how many children they all have? It's not explanatory, and it's going to take you weeks. And by the time you're done, they might have more kids!

//Talking about the "ladder of teaching" Schafer: So there's sort of this scale. At the bottom, it's like "organize the classroom". Then it's "learn the kids names". And its just all this stuff, and at the top is "Be a good teacher". But isn't all that other junk just what a good teacher does?

//Talking about suggestions for teaching Schafer: So there's the usual ones..."Be supportive" check..."Don't be racist" sounds good..."Don't be sexist" I agree...and there was all this other stuff, and this was in the middle. And in the bad section was sarcasm. And I just look at it, and I'm like "You have GOT to be kidding me."

//Discussing an afterschool seminar for teachers Schafer: So the county supports this "10-2-2" plan.  10 minutes teaching, 2 minutes discussion, 2 minutes group work.  So I'm like "Does this work for every scenario?" and he's just like "yeah..."  So then I ask him "Then why did you just lecture us for an hour and a half?"  And he says "Cuz it doesn't apply to this scenario!"  And I'm like "You just said it works for all scenarios!"  There's a reason I wasn't appreciated at those things.

//Talking about teaching school Schafer: When I was in teaching school - which was horrible, by the way - they made us write a lesson about some reading, and I was just like "Are you serious?" So anyways, I brought in this huge book of physics and chemistry constants (motions to the 1986 edition) and I'm like "This book isn't meant to be read!"
