What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honorable, than that of teaching?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The teacher who would be true to his mission and accomplish the most good, must give prominence to moral as well as intellectual instruction.
I trust the time is coming, when the occupation of an instructor to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment.
I think the way to understand Teach for America is as a leadership development program.
The office of the public teacher is an unenviable and thankless one.
A good teacher is a determined person.
Teaching has always been, for me, linked to issues of social justice. I've never considered it a neutral or passive profession.
I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.
Teachers who help to open young minds perform a duty which is as near sacred as I will admit.
A teacher should have maximal authority, and minimal power.
Teaching sometimes seems like not one profession, but every profession. We ask them to be doctor and diplomat, calf-herder, map-maker, wizard and watchman, electricians of the mind.
