Quotes
-
Tommy Solomon : [when Tommy does well on an achievement test, Dick decides he should go to a school for the gifted, but Tommy disagrees] If I'm going to do my job, I've got to be in a real school, one with metal detectors and pregnant cheerleaders.
Dr. Dick Solomon : [later, Dick realizes that Tommy is right about being in a regular school] Now I'm putting him back in a *real* school, where he can be himself; the kind of school where kids aren't judged on how well they test, or how much they know - where they aren't judged at all! Where they have the freedom to stay faceless and nameless from K through 12, carrying their diplomas straight through the golden arches, and on into their waiting McJobs.

Dr. Menard : Yes, yes. You and Tommy have found a home here at the Pickney. It's not just for exceptional students, it's for exceptional parents.
Dr. Dick Solomon : Well, then you must be delighted to meet *me*!
