The duties of a teacher are neither few nor small, but they elevate the mind and give energy to the character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
A teacher enlarges people in all sorts of ways besides just his subject matter.
A good teacher is a determined person.
As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. That can wear you down.
Teachers are unparalleled in the role they play in children's lives.
To me, the avocation of a teacher has something elevating and exciting. While surrounded by the young, one may always be doing good.
There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.
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.
A teacher should have a creative mind.
A teacher should have maximal authority, and minimal power.
