//Discussing a meeting about teaching...and stuff Schafer: So, they had this list of things people said good and bad about us. You can tell who was smart and who was dumb right away. There were all these big long words on some of them that frankly, I don't think half the teachers understood! And then there were dumb words with "not" to negate them. I even saw, under the "Bad" category, "Not Good".

//Talking about a huge book of Physics and Chemistry constants from '86 Schafer: I'm not gonna spend like $185 on a book when the old one's 95% the same! And I've always got Wikipedia.

Schafer: So my chem teacher was completely incomprehensible. It was like "Vuh vuh vuh vuh vuh..." Now imagine a whole year of that! Gilad (imitating Peanuts): Wa wa, wa wa wa wa wa wa... //Later, about to discuss Newton's Law of Cooling Schafer: So anyways, my calculus teacher was HORRIBLE. We didn't learn ANYTHING. All I could understand was dy/dx. And maybe a little differentiation. So anyways, I take the AP, and I see Newton's Law of cooling, and I'm just like "Wha?" Yet somehow, here I am, teaching you about it.

Mr. Schafer: As a kid my father asked me why it was that when my hands are cold and I blow on them, they get warm, but when my soup is hot and I blow on it it gets cooler. That question bothered me for a long time. In the end I concluded that I had magic powers.

//Finishing up thermostats Vishnu: Mr. Schafer, can we test ours instead of theirs (motions to him and Lucas, then the other 2 guys who got something to work) Schafer: No! What do you think the word "team" means? //Later, after the other thermostat failed Vishnu (to other team members): If my design works, you guys owe me money! Schafer: But it won't cuz from what they've said, you designed it horribly. Besides, you already failed on the good one.

//While making thermostats Student: Mr. Schafer, how come we can't use the aluminum foil? Schafer: Cuz I'm using it to make mine! It I let you guys use it, you already think it works, and would just throw a sheet down and say "Hey, I'm done!" and I'd just laugh at you.
