The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than
what to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think
for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.
John Dewey
Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.
John Cotton Dana
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Education is not the filling of a pail; it's the lighting of a fire.
If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.
A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove . . . . but the world maybe different because I was important in the life of a child.
Kathy Davis
The
dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes
and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp
stick called "truth."
