We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change. ↗

I've got a golf scholarship for school, so they understand if I'm away. A couple of years ago they called to see why I wasn't at school, and now they're like, 'oh, she's at golf.' Sometimes I'm in class and sometimes the teachers don't realize I'm there. She goes, 'oh, Lydia's absent.' And I'm like 'no, actually, I'm here.' ↗

Culture is an instrument wielded by teachers to manufacture teachers, who, in their turn, will manufacture still more teachers. ↗

Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school. ↗

I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children. ↗
