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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals', the ones who somehow know how to teach.
Teachers are by nature idealists, and they believe anything can be learned.
Observation more than books and experience more than persons, are the prime educators.
We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.
The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.
We're not trying to be the only route into teaching. We do put enormous energy into understanding what differentiates the most successful teachers.
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn't serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can't be taught.
Kids' views are often just as valid as the teachers'. The best teachers are the ones that know that.
As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.
Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.
