My whole family loves that movie and I call the kids in when that quote comes up, love it love it!!!
This part especially struck home. I was on another board & one poster was asking about acceleration. A teacher/parent responded that young bright kids have to just learn to contain their smartness sometimes to fit in with what is socially acceptable.
That has bothered me ever since I read it.
I think that is the attitude at my daughters school as well. And the teachers mean well, but it just doesn't work and it bothers me as well. I've had to teach the kids that there are leaders and followers, shepherds and sheep. Many people are like sheep, following the butt in front of them. Don't be afraid to stand out and be a leader.
