Rita Williams-Garcia
“There is something about sudden darkness in a classroom of twenty-four sixth graders that sets off mischief. There was giggling on one side of the room. Spitballs on the other.”
Rita Williams-Garcia, P.S. Be Eleven

Penelope Fitzgerald
“Hannah wanted to put the next day's work on the blackboard. This would mean that she needn't turn her back on the class first thing, which is as unwise in junior teaching as in lion-taming.”
Penelope Fitzgerald, At Freddie's
