Despite popular belief, “quote” is not a noun, but a verb. The correct term for a verbatim of someone else’s text is “quotation” (one of the few things I learned in English last year lol). Ever since Pre-IB, I’ve gotten into the habit of collecting teacher/classmate quotations in my student planner. Here’s a selection (because I’m procrastinating on SAT-prep).

Any demonstration where the teacher may die is a good one - Chem HL teacher

That assignment was terrible. You may see the following comments on your paper: BLECH, ACK, ARGH, DUH - TOK teacher on one of the first knowledge assignments we handed in (BLECH = stupid example, ACK = stale argument, ARGH = Now you’re just pissing me off, DUH = common sense, a poor attempt to boost word count)

[On probability in mathematics] In an ice cream cone, order makes difference! You start with your tongue at the top and work your way down… or you bite off the bottom and suck it all out - Math HL teacher, I remember giving my friend a look and we both suddenly burst out laughing in the middle of class.
