Bill Clinton: “Nine. You're in the fourth grade? I made my lowest grades in conduct--[laughter]--because I talked too much in school…”

On the recordFebruary 20, 1993
Nine. You're in the fourth grade? I made my lowest grades in conduct--[laughter]--because I talked too much in school and the teachers were always telling me to stop talking. I did best in math. I did well in reading. I had some trouble spelling, interestingly enough, when I was young, because I'd get excited and I would go too fast. And sometimes I wouldn't spell so well.
