Teaching is too strong a word for whatever it was I did at Northeastern University.

I think teaching should be a vocation, and they should be paid more for it.

I think teaching should be an exalted profession, not a picked-on profession.

In business, experience is the big teacher.

Teaching is the royal road to learning.

Student teaching is the hardest job there is.

Instead of being a teacher, I got a job with a company called Bain & Co., consulting firm, and they taught me how to build businesses.

We're not trying to be the only route into teaching. We do put enormous energy into understanding what differentiates the most successful teachers.

I think it's very important that whatever you're trying to make or sell, or teach has to be basically good. A bad product and you know what? You won't be here in ten years.

Our teachers are operating just as effective leaders in the business world do. They set a vision that most people think is crazy. They convince the kids why it's important to accomplish the goal. And they are totally relentless.
