“When you become a parent, or a teacher, you turn into a manager of this whole system. You become the person controlling the bubble of innocence around a child, regulating it.”
Kazuo Ishiguro
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”
William Arthur Ward
“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

Barbara Colorose
“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
“The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."”
Maria Montessori
“It's another responsibility of parenting that now falls on teachers. If parents would start doing their job at home, we wouldn't have this problem.”
