“The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.”
Aristotle
“The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to answer”
Alice Wellington Rollins
“Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.”
Albert Einstein
“A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations.”
Patricia Neal
“The object of teaching a child is to enable them to get along without their teacher.”
Elbert Hubbard
“I've come to the frightening conclusioin that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.”
Dr. Haim Ginott
“There are three things to remember when teaching: know your stuff; know whom you are stuffing; and then stuff them elegantly”
Lola May
