It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.

A true teacher defends his students against his own personal influences.

When I ask teachers why they teach, they almost always say that it is because they want to make a difference in the lives of children.

There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.

Cause and effect are two sides of one fact.

The mind is the effect, not the cause.

Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.

If you are a lousy teacher, you should be fired.

Teachers themselves know if there's a colleague who can't keep control or keep the interest of their class, it affects the whole school.

As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. That can wear you down.
