teachers

Our professional competence and pride should rest not alone in our possession of knowledge but as well in our ability to communicate it. Of course we shall carry on our research, and of course we shall applaud the colleague who 'produces,' but we shan't be happy if he offers that as a substitute for inspiring young people with a desire for knowledge, a sense of taste, and a regard for virtue.

One thing I more and this is all I have to say...High School is not a separate unit from you. We are apart of you. Every man, woman, and child in this community is a part...Your ways of life in your homes and your town reflect here in the school. You can help us or you can hurt us. Our success depends largely on you. I used to think when I first started teaching school that it was all up to the teachers and the pupils. I have changed my mind. The little island of humanity that is each one of you must unite with other islands and become a mainland if we are to have a successful school.

Teaching remains a heroic act to me, and teachers live a necessary and all-important life. We are killing their spirit with unnecessary pressure and expectation that seem forced and destructive to me. Long ago I was one of them. I still regret I was forced to leave them. My entire body of work is because of men and women like them.

Louis thought he would be all for a back-to-the-basics drive in education: a teacher, an olive tree, a bit of midday wine (the Greeks had watered theirs down to keep their heads lucid), and, last but not least, six or seven eager and receptive youths seated at one__ feet.

Even we set aside the nearly 50 percent of all beginner teachers who choose to leave the profession within five years__nd ignore the evidence that those who leave are worse performers than those who stay__t is unclear whether teachers are formally terminated for poor performance any less frequently than are other workers.

I am a teacher. I should be giving tests, not taking them.

Did one learn or was one shaped?

The purpose of teachers should be to add to the sum of human knowers rather than the sum of human knowledge.

Though I__e never met a teacher who was not happy in retirement, I rarely meet one who thinks that their teaching life was not a grand way to spend a human life. The unhappy ones are the young ones, those who must teach in public schools when the whole nation seems at war with the very essence of teaching.

Teachers knew every one of the students, their secrets, their grades, their home situations. And all the students knew the teachers. It was like teachers were people who finally were the most popular at school.

...teaching is, after all, a form of show business.

Teachers are mind engineers! Teachers are life directors! Don__ ever undermine a teacher!

There is a night school where you shall meet great teachers: The sky! When the night falls, the shining stars in the school will teach you how small you are and how comical to own an ego!

A nation of unhappy teachers makes for a sadder and more endangered America.

Today i am feeling proud that i have a greatest teacher. My encouragement my motivation and my leader is only one that is my teacher. From silent to talkative from dread to cheer all credit goes to teacher for their such a encouragement.

The strong spirit empowers others to be stronger souls.

I don't like being with grown-up people. I've known that a long time. I don't like it because I don't know how to get on with them.

I did not know of any single soul who succeed in life without a mentorship.
