There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but they're really just propagandists.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sure, just like there are bad lawyers, bad doctors and bad politicians, there are people who aren't cut out to be teachers. But by and large, the people who are called to be teachers are passionate about the profession.
The teachers I know are extremely dedicated people.
I am a teacher. It's how I define myself. A good teacher isn't someone who gives the answers out to their kids but is understanding of needs and challenges and gives tools to help other people succeed. That's the way I see myself, so whatever it is that I will do eventually after politics, it'll have to do a lot with teaching.
A lot of these people, these program directors, just like anybody else in the world, even though they're supposed to be leaders in the world, they're followers. They follow what they think someone else is doing, instead of trying to blaze a trail.
Great teachers transcend ideology.
If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are society's heroes.
Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.
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.
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.
As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.
