teachers

Break the teacher certification monopoly so anyone with something valuable to teach can teach it. Nothing is more important than this.

Don't ever get to the point where you can't be taught because life is a classroom and everyone owns a pen.

There is no doubt that great teaching and great teachers have a significant impact on students and their long-term association with school and with learning.

He went to work in this preparatory lesson, not unlike Morgiana in the Forty Thieves: looking into all the vessels ranged before him, one after another, to see what they contained. Say, good M__hoakumchild. When from thy boiling store, thou shalt fill each jar brim full by-and-by, dost thou think that thou wilt always kill outright the robber Fancy lurking within__r sometimes only maim him and distort him!

They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a ton even when you don't know it

It is not until you change your identity to match your life blueprint that you will understand why everything in the past never worked.

I beg you, help me, in angelic charity,Pray my efforts will reflect your mastery!

The Master said, __ true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also able to understand the present._(Analects 2.11)

With her it's as if a text was written so that we can identify the characters, the narrator, the setting, the plot, the time of the story, and so on. I don't think it has ever occurred to her that a text is written above all to be read and to arouse emotions in the reader.

There has never been upon the earth a generation of free men and women. It is not yet time to write a creed. Wait until the chains are broken__ntil dungeons are not regarded as temples. Wait until solemnity is not mistaken for wisdom__ntil mental cowardice ceases to be known as reverence. Wait until the living are considered the equals of the dead__ntil the cradle takes precedence of the coffin. Wait until what we know can be spoken without regard to what others may believe.

Teaching is a dialogue, and it is through the process of engaging students that we see ideas taken from the abstract and played out in concrete visual form. Students teach us about creativity through their personal responses to the limits we set, thus proving that reason and intuition are not antithetical. Their works give aesthetic visibility to mathematical ideas.

Neither parents nor schools are very effective at teaching the young to find pleasure in the right things. Adults, themselves often deluded by infatuation with fatuous models, conspire in the deception. They make serious tasks seem dull and hard, and frivolous ones exciting and easy. Schools generally fial to teach how exciting, how mesmerizingly beautiful science or mathematics can be; they teach the routine of literature or history rather than the adventure.

Just about ANY personality trait or skill can be learned: simply find it in someone you know and copy it. Then watch what happens.
