I need help!

My dear friends,
I am talking about Education with my students and we are reading Teacher Man, by Frank McCourt and I intend to show my students that although people give a little importance to Education it �s very important.
I told them that it has even left a mark on language and I gave as example the expression "apple polisher" which comes from the context of Education in the past.
Do you know any other words/expressions that come from the context of Education or classroom?
I really need your help because I don �t know how to look for it. 
Huge kisses!  |

Hi Summerwinds,
most common expressions are idiomatic in nature, so there �s actually very little difference between them. But the site I posted also has a section just for idiomds.
I hope this helps |
