“I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.”
Woody Allen
“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
“Teachers who educate children deserve more honor than parents who merely gave birth; for bare life is furnished by the one, the other ensures a good life”
Aristotle
“Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.”
Marva Collins
“You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
“If kids come to us [educators / teachers] from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come to us from strong, healthy, functioning families, it makes our job more important.”
