We have found that the most successful teachers in low-income communities operate like successful leaders. They establish a vision of where their students will be performing at the end of the year that many believe to be unrealistic.

Teachers are always trying to inspire people to do better, to learn, to grow. That's what we do, and we're proud of the success we've had here doing that, and it's something we'll certainly continue to do.

Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility. Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.

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.

I would want to teach my children someday that they should strive to be successful.

I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

We are teaching kids to fail. We need to teach our kids to succeed.

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.
