One thing about the school of experience is that it will repeat the lesson if you flunk the first time.
Related quotes
You can meet a young person who goes to school and is really enthusiastic, but if a sufficiently strong personality convinces them that this is a waste of time, that person might flunk out.

Heart On The Line (Skeletal)
Win some lose some
that's the way I play the hand I get no sense in getting sore.
it comes easy or it never comes at all
and I get somethng off a lesson that's a lesson to us all
Call a teacher, let him answer if he can
what am I gonna do if I can't take it like a man.
What do they want a boy to do if he's done no wrong
the only thing he did was lay his heart out on the line.
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
<
Inside, outside
doesn't matter where you're standing 'cause you always a marked man
Thou a crazy in a lazy kind of way
If I don't get up this morning well what difference does it make.
Call a preacher let him save a drowning man
how can he ever sleep at night with evil all around
So ring a bell for Brother Al, he never did no wrong
The only thing he did was lay his heart out on the line
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
His heart out on the line
<
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
<
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Ooohhhhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
When it's good, it's oh so good
When it's bad it's better.
There is no pain then there's no gain
when you stand at the centre of it all.
So could a healer come on down to this great land
I really don't know what to do I just don't understand
Let's ring a bell for Brother man, he never meant no harm
All he had to do was lay his heart out on the line
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
His heart out on the line
<
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)
{It's up to me, it's up to me)

Do Not Wait For Others to Live Up to Expectations
I've learned a few things...
With time and age.
And what experience brings.
One major lesson,
That took a long time for me to accept!
Do not wait for others to live up to expectations.
Yours or theirs,
Suspected or professed.
Time will move on and leave you in regret.
That has been the best lesson yet,
I have learned!

Life's lesson!
Life's lesson, always changing not the same,
Sometimes hard, Sometimes easy,
Sometimes confusing, Sometimes daunting,
Theories of life's lessons,
Lighthouse in the sea shore,
It is always flicking and hiding,
Why do we learn through our own experience?
After many hours and years of research,
Theories are derived and approved.
Though it is wrong or right,
Why are we interested in learning,
Though our own experience?
The fire is hot; still want to touch it,
The volcanoes spewing, still want to dive into it,
Though the Arrival of tsunami is visible,
Not run opposite, but run towards it,
Why do we like to learn the life's lesson,
Through our own bad experience?

Horny High School Musical I or An Adolescent Male's Disneyland in Brooklyn
Something must be in the water in Brooklyn, New York City,
Maybe an aphrodisiac or some other thing.
This occurred the other day, as I perused the internet and came across this ditty.
The teachers involved were linguists that taught French and Spanish.
Cindy Mauro,33 and Alini Brito,29, respectively.
They were caught nude in classroom of Hornydog, uh- correction,
make that, James Madison High School, -by a janitor.
Did he clap and cheer?
Anyway, the two were later sent off a kind of adult detention,
Called a 'rubber room', no pun intended the sexual innuendos just keep happening,
They are on par,
As Tiger Woods' score card.
Anyway, the two were found disrobing as students, in another room,
- watched a talent show.
They were in the process of 'speaking the international language of love' so to speak,
When the janitor had a peek.
Anyway, in the same school it is alleged, that social science teacher,
Allison Musacchio,31,
Has been 'sexting' a former male student with inappropriate text.
Did I grow up in wrong time or what?
The musicals I was in involved with was produced by Felician nuns.
And my Latin teacher was Sr. Mary Yolanda, albeit she was an Octogenarian.
Golly gee!
St. Florian High School was not the same as James Madison High School;
- what would happen next?
Did Miley Cyrus or the Jonas' brothers have this type of school?
Did Jamie Lynn Spears flunk out with Zoey 101?
Pity the high school fool!

One Thing
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
Its nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
*Chorus*
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldnt that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
*Bridge*
Even though I know
I dont want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
Repeat Chorus Twice
Repeat Bridge Twice
Repeat Chorus until fade.

While You Were Gone
Hmm, whoa, yeah, oh baby, hmm, oh
I read you wrong
You said youd only be away a while
But the days turned into weeks
And all the weeks into miles
Baby why?
You couldve told me you were telling me goodbye
Couldve come clean and let me walk away in style, oh
Funny thing is
While I was missing you
While I was figuring what I was gonna do
1 - I got wise, I got hip
I caught on to your tricks
I got over it real quick, yeah baby
While you were gone
Now Im cool, cant you tell
Feel so good about myself
A funny thing happened to me baby
While you were gone
Oh, you looked surprised
Like no one ever left you and survived, no
Well leaving me alone has kind of opened my eyes
Baby you, you gave me the time to find somebody new
And I found strength inside me I never knew, oh
Funny thing is
While he was holding me
While he was showing me how its suppose to be
Repeat 1
Repeat 1 with ad-libs by kelly
Didnt freak, didnt cry
I just held my head up high
I learned how to say goodbye
While you were gone
Had time on my hands
Baby dont you understand
A funny thing happened to me baby
While you were gone
Had nothing but time on my hands
Learned how to understand boy
Got over you, got over you, oh
While he was holding me
While he was showing me how its suppose to be
Oh baby
Repeat 1
While you were gone, oh
Learned to lie, learned a lesson
Learned how to get along, learned how to be strong
Learned how to love myself, while you were gone, ooh, oh

That Was Yesterday
Its finally over
But I cant even cry
So, dont you give me no sweet talk
You done told your last lie
I was your puppet
Just a dancin, dancin on a string
But when the sun went down last night,
Lord, it changed everything
Today I feel different
cause now I can see
That you care more bout yourself
Than mistreatin me
It took me a long time
To figure you out
But misery and pain
Aint what loves all about
(chorus)
I was your woman
But ya threw it away
I used to be your very own
Custom made, love slave, do anything for you, little fool
But that was yesterday
That was yesterday
And so it goes
Another lesson gets learned
And in the big book of experience
Another page gets turned
Now you say you need me
Well, honey, you got some nerve
I hope some sweet tomorrow
Well get what we deserve
(repeat chorus)
Im packing up and movin on
Your real good thing is good and gone

Everlasting Lesson
Thirteen years of school
A little more for further studies
General, social, history lessons
Life and street rules
Vice versa, slips, trips many falls
Start or end with the blues
Plenty songs sang relating on the journey
Old school and new school
Many different battles and scars
Same title: The fight.
Plenty obstacles, different bridge destinations
A journey, same struggle: The climb.
Every individual owns claim to their own stories
Same topic: Life.
From birth ‘til death
A constant lesson
Repercussion, obstacles, compassion
Beginning to end, the journey and destination
A grim awakening
Struggles are our teachers
Life's the lesson
We're the students
The mind is the question to
our everlasting lesson

Hetuaght me a lesson
He said he was going to
teach me a lesson.
I needed to no some things.
The lesson was rape.
But he said it was a game.
He said I had to learn sometime.
When he'd finished.
He smiled and said.
This happens to
Stupid little girls
All the time.
I was only teaching you a lesson.
If it was a lesson to learn
It was one well tuaght.
Be weary of who you trust.
For you never can
Read people like a book.
If you could
The world would be safe.
It was a lesson hard learned.
One that still remains today.
Its a lesson that effects me still.
I only wish I could
Of turned and run.
Only when your young
Like that you dont
Really understand.
If I did
I would of ran.
A thousand miles a way.
Out of reach.
And out of harms way.

Back to School
I can't believe it went by so fast
Now is time to go
Back to school
I'm not ready, but
I have to get through this
Another year
Filled with crazyness, funny, great, and rollercoaster ride
Time to get back to those books,
Lectures, meeting new teachers, and
Meeting new classmates
Seeing friends/or girlfriend/boyfriend
We haven't seen in while
I'm just ready for another year
Now is time to go
Back to school
This last thing I want to thing about
Why can't summer last forever
Well life goes in circle
Good things have to come too end eventually
Get ready to see school again
I hope I can remember where things are,
It been almost three months
Time to get through seven hours of schools
Even through I hate school I need it
Back to school
Once again with fun, excited, bored, happy and all kind emotions
You feel happen in everday of your life at school
Some of us will the butterflies, but as days go by
You be calm and get used to class, people, your teacher and school again
You be ok
Everday is brand new day
Don't stress out and take a deep breath
Have fun and enjoy
It goes by fast before you know its over
There so much memories you won't forget
Back to school

BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU
LYING TO THE VOICE INSIDE
REACH OUT TO BEG FOR SOMETHING
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
FEEDING ON SELF DESTRUCTION
WAITING TO EXPLODE AGAIN
NO SIGN OF RESOLUTION
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
YOU DON'T NEED DIRECTION TO FIND YOUR WAY
DON'T YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW AND AGAIN
KILLING TIME
KILLING YOUR MIND OVER MATTER
STOP AND LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW
BEND ME BEFORE I BREAK DOWN
DYING TO BE FREE WITHIN
IT'S NOT HOW YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
FORCING YOUR SELF SOLUTION AS YOU FALL INTO LINE AGAIN
WHEN WILL I FIND THE ANSWERS
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
YOU DON'T NEED DIRECTOIN TO FIND YOUR WAY
DON'T YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW AND AGAIN
KILLING TIME
KILLING YOUR MIND OVER MATTER
STOP AND LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW
FALLING TO THE GROUND
LEFT FACE DOWN AS I RECALL THE MIRROR'S UGLY GLARE
(REPEAT 3X)
YOU DON'T NEED DIRECTION TO FIND YOUR WAY
DON'T YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW AND AGAIN
KILLING TIME
KILLING YOUR MIND OVER AMTTER
STOP AND LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW

Charmed Into It
If there is 'anything' I've learned,
As I continue to live my life...
With widened eyes and healed knees.
And...
With ears alerted like a bat radared for life.
Never will I allow myself,
Consciously...
To revisit an experience that has taught me a lesson.
Nor will I be charmed into it!
Michael Jackson took a few steps backward,
And called that 'moonwalking'.
When I did it,
I called it regret!
I discovered a repetition of that,
Cause me much sorrow!
Never will I allow myself,
Consciously...
To revisit an experience that has taught me a lesson.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
If your havin' trouble with your high school head
He's givin' you the blues
You wanna graduate but not in 'is bed
Here's what you gotta do -
Pick up the phone
I'm here alone
Call me any time
36 24 36 (slaver)
I lead a life of crime
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
repeat
repeat
repeat
Your havin' problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
He's double dealin' with your best friend
That's when the teardrops start -
Pick up the phone
I'm here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We'll have ourselves a ball
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
repeat
repeat
repeat
If you got a lady but you want her gone
But you ain't got the guts
She keeps naggin' you night and day
Enough to drive you nuts -
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It's time you made a stand
For a fee I'll be happy to be
Your back door man
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
repeat
repeat
repeat
Concrete shoes

Only Time Will Tell
Youre leaving now
Its in your eyes
Theres no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now
{chorus}
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die
{chorus}
{repeat first verse}
{repeat second verse}
{chorus}
{only time will tell}
Youre on your own
Inside your room
{only time will tell}
Youre claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell...

Education as an Antidote to Mud
The Army taught me a great lesson
The way to stay out of the mud
Is to go to school.
This formula is as simple as it is true
Alexander Solzhenitsyn has validated it too
And even General Patton has granted us the lesson
That the best use for mud is for education.

School: (
I dont like school you big fool
I'd rather be doing a dool,
Than go to school.
The teachers are ok,
But I just want to float away.
Don't want to go to school today.
Maybe it will snow,
But it will be cold though.
I just don't want to go to school.
The only thing I like is the friends.
But when we grade things,
I always loose my pens.
I just don't want to go to school.

I came from Long Island, so I had a lot of experience at the stick. I played in junior high school, then I played in high school. The technical aspect of the game was my forte. I had all that experience, then I had strength and I was in good condition.
