Answer 1

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life." (Chnese proverb)

"Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself."
-Chinese Proverb

"No other job in the world could possibly dispossess one so completely as this job of teaching. You could stand all day in a laundry, for instance, still in possession of your mind. But this teaching utterly obliterates you. It cuts right into your being: essentially, it takes over your spirit. It drags it out from where it would hide." (Sylvia Ashton-Warner)

"When will the public cease to insult the teacher's calling with empty flattery? When will men who would never for a moment encourage their own sons to enter the work of the public schools cease to tell us that education is the greatest and noblest of all human callings?" (William C. Bagley)

"I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this." (A.C. Benson)

Answer 3

An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. -Carl Jung

Answer 4

If a child cannot learn the way I teach, than I must teach so that he may learn.

Answer 5

"Teachers are highly paid babysitters who tend to be dumber than many of the students they are teaching and therefore utterly unable to deal with their needs or behavior. School is more a place to keep kids off the street than a place of learning."
