teachers

The new dumb, is now wisdom.

I only had three teachers, really, that were interesting, and all three of them were women.

At it's highest level, the purpose of teaching is not to teach__t is to inspire the desire for learning. Once a student's mind is set on fire, it will find a way to provide its own fuel.

I thought, Dad.Could I go to Vietnam for you?Dad, I could do it. I could do it for you. I could go to the places you fought. I could find the bits and pieces of your heart and soul left behind. If I bring them back, would it heal your pain?Dad, you gave me life. You made possible every good thing in my life. Why do you insist on fighting your nightmares and memories and monsters alone?You don__ have to do it alone, Dad. I could help you fight.Dad, you know what?I__l be back before you find out so you don__ have to be afraid. I__ going to Vietnam.

Children are good learners. The first learn to act what they hear and see.

I urge you to be teachers so that you can join with children as the co-collaborators in a plot to build a little place of ecstasy and poetry and gentle joy

Standing side by side children with our heads together, we are trying to understand their learning based on what we observe as they use the social, technical, symbolic, and material resources at their disposal.

Classroom teaching withholds nothing. I say to my young students every year, __ know how to add two numbers, but I__ not going to tell you._ And they laugh and shout, __o!_ That__ so absurd, so unthinkable. What do I have that I would not give to you?Bringing nothing, producing nothing, expecting nothing, withholding nothing _ what does that remind you of? Is this a bizarre occurrence that will go into The Journal of Irreproducible Results? Or is it something that happens every day, all the time, all over the world,and is based not on gain and fame, but on love.

25. Whenever two human beings spend time together, sooner or later they will probably irritate one another. This is true of best friends, married couples, parents and children, or teachers and students. The question is: How do they respond when friction occurs? There are four basic ways they can react:_ They can internalize the anger and send it downward into a memory bank that never forgets. This creates great pressure within and can even result in disease and other problems._ They can pout and be rude without discussing the issues. This further irritates the other person and leaves him or her to draw his or her own conclusions about what the problem may be._ They can blow up and try to hurt the other person. This causes the death of friendships, marriages, homes, and businesses._ Or they can talk to one another about their feelings, being very careful not to attack the dignity and worth of the other person. This approach often leads to permanent and healthy relationships.

Don't just leave your footprints in the sand only to be washed away as the ocean waves come crashing to the shore. You want to impact the lives of others in such a way that you'll be remembered forever. You want to instill values and wisdom in the hearts and minds of others that will never be forgotten. So they may teach their children to carry on from generation to generation.

How many of us readers say this quote and mean it. "If I knew what I know now life would be different"....

Failure is a teacher. It teaches what you ought to learn.

Do all the work you while you still have strength.

You can find anyone that will tell you what you want to hear, but the only one worth valuing is the one that tells you what you need to learn.

Tough love and brutal truth from strangers are far more valuable than Band-Aids and half-truths from invested friends, who don__ want to see you suffer any more than you have.

Life is travelled at a pace one decides for themselves
