We have seen that, in another unfunded mandate, the so-called No Child Left Behind Act, which created tougher standards, and we all support that, but Congress did not provide the money to attract and hire the best teachers. ↗

Can teachers successfully educate children to think for themselves if teachers are not treated as professionals who think for themselves? ↗

In large part, we are teachers precisely because we remember what it was like to be a student. Someone inspired us. Someone influenced us. Or someone hurt us. And we’ve channeled that joy (or pain) into our own unique philosophies on life and learning and we’re always looking for an opportunity to share them—with each other, our students, parents, or in our communities. ↗

Without books we should very likely be a still-primitive people living in the shadow of traditions that faded with years until only a blur remained, and different memories would remember the past in different ways. A parent or a teacher has only his lifetime; a good book can teach forever.Without books we should very likely be a still-primitive people living in the shadow of traditions that faded with years until only a blur remained, and different memories would remember the past in different ways.

Simply put, the best teachers are the ones you work your tail off for because in the end you just don't want them to think any less of you. You want and need their approval. ↗

По широкия свят има повече лъжливи водачи и неистински учители, отколкото са звездите във видимия небосвод. Не допускай грешката да смяташ за свои наставници потъналите в себе си властолюбци. Истинският духовен учител няма да насочи към себе си вниманието си и няма да очаква от теб пълно подчинение и възхищение, а ще ти помогне да оцениш истинското си “Аз” и да му се възхитиш. Истинските наставници са прозрачни като стъкло. Те оставят Божията Светлина да минава през тях. ↗

We are more than role models for our students; we are leaders and teachers of both an academic curriculum and a social curriculum. ↗

I don't care who the student is, teachers should never be condescending. That should be the first rule in the teacher handbook. ↗

I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training. ↗
