Kids' views are often just as valid as the teachers'. The best teachers are the ones that know that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Teachers shape so much of what a kid's upbringing can be.
The true teachers and educators are not those who have learned pedagogy as the science of dealing with children, but those in whom pedagogy has awakened through understanding the human being.
I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.
Teachers need to feel they are trusted. They must be allowed some leeway to use their imagination; otherwise, teaching loses all sense of wonder and excitement.
Make no mistake about it: Next to parents and families, our teachers are the most important influence in our children's lives.
Teachers are by nature idealists, and they believe anything can be learned.
When I ask teachers why they teach, they almost always say that it is because they want to make a difference in the lives of children.
I've come to realise that the best teachers never stop being teachers.
I think kids should have a mentor and a role model, but that they shouldn't take one person's opinion to be what we call final assessment or judgment about how life is supposed to be.
The best teachers are those who keep students motivated, challenged and flourishing.
