Quotes 

• George Feeny : You see, Mr. Matthews, education is not about obscure facts and little test scores. Education is about the overall effect of years of slow absorption, concepts, philosophies, approaches to problem solving. The whole process is so grand and all-encompassing that it really can't be threatened by the occasional late night no-hitter.

• George Feeny : Cory may not take the make up test. The F stands.

  Alan Matthews : I thought you said you understand.

  George Feeny : I do understand. But understanding and condoning are two entirely separate concepts.

  Alan Matthews : So you're going to fail a boy for spending time with his father?

  George Feeny : In my 35 years of teaching, I've heard every excuse imaginable for why somebody fails a test. What's my excuse? If somewhere down the line, a child fails at something because I once abrogated my responsibility to impart knowledge.

  [Alan looks at Cory] 

  Cory Matthews : I've gotta listen to this everyday.

• George Feeny : Care to join me for a drink?

  Cory Matthews : [confused]  Uh, sure.

  George Feeny : Help yourself.

  Cory Matthews : [takes a sip]  Hey! This is apple juice!

  George Feeny : Oh, gee. I must have left it in there too long
