It is commonly said that a teacher fails if he has not been surpassed by his students. There has been no failure on our part in this regard considering how far they have gone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.
Mistakes are the best teachers. One does not learn from success. It is desirable to learn vicariously from other people's failures, but it gets much more firmly seared in when they are your own.
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
If you feel your school is failing you, the question is why. Is it a lack of parental involvement, large classes, school violence, poor learning environment? Are there any standards to determine where problems are? Are there tutoring or mentoring programs? If the school is still failing after 3 years then what are your options?
Students rarely disappoint teachers who assure them in advance that they are doomed to failure.
Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share.
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.'
