Quote

As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.

I never intended to be a teacher. I just like going to school and learning things.

I'm a teacher. My mother was a teacher. I spent 40 years as a teacher.

I've always said I'm a teacher at heart.

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.

The main thing I am interested in is my experience as a teacher.

Being a teacher is back-breakingly difficult work. It is also extremely important work.

I'm committed to working with teachers.

I never intended to be a teacher, but once I started teaching, I found that junior high kids are easy to get hooked on, and I stayed for nearly twenty years.

I wanted to be a teacher, but I was a lousy student, one of the slowest readers. It was a tremendous struggle. But I'm lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me.
