“No man can be a good teacher unless he has feelings of warm affection toward his pupils and a genuine desire to impart to them what he believes to be of value.”
Bertrand Russell
“A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.”
Buddha
“What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
“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
“If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”
Ignacio Estrada
“Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.”
Albert Einstein
“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
