Events sometimes are the biggest teachers, as opposed to words, lectures, and that kind of thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
A teacher enlarges people in all sorts of ways besides just his subject matter.
Observation more than books and experience more than persons, are the prime educators.
As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. That can wear you down.
The teachers I know are extremely dedicated people.
I don't think most teachers realize how much impact they have.
It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
Excellent teachers showered on to us like meteors: Biology teachers holding up human brains, English teachers inspiring us with a personal ideological fierceness about Tolstoy and Plato, Art teachers leading us through the slums of Boston, then back to the easel to hurl public school gouache with social awareness and fury.
Being a teacher is back-breakingly difficult work. It is also extremely important work.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
