“Education can and should do much influence social, moral and intellectual discovery by stimulating critical attitudes of thought in the young”
George Bernard Shaw
“The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.”
Amos Bronson Alcott
“The good teacher discovers the natural gifts of his pupils and liberates them by the stimulating influence of the inspiration that he can impart. The true leader makes his followers twice the men they were before.”
Stephen Neill
“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
“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
“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
