When we become a really mature, grown-up, wise society, we will put teachers at the center of the community, where they belong. We don't honor them enough, we don't pay them enough.

Great teachers should be rewarded.

Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.

Teachers have the hardest and most important jobs in America. They're building our nation. And we should appreciate them, respect them, and pay them well.

The sincere teachers of their youth should be met, not with an intention to dictate to them, but to give additional force to their well-meant endeavours, and raise them to public esteem.

I come from a family of teachers, and I believe ideas matter; the good ones deserve reverence, and the bad ones, defiance.

I'm convinced many of America's heroes are public school teachers and administrators. Many of these people do what they do because of their faith.

I think more and more respect has been accorded to teachers, and quite rightly so.

Often times the public school teachers are ridiculed or they are made to feel inferior but this is really undeserved.
