George Steiner, Lessons of the Masters
“That’s what education should be,” I said, “the art of orientation. Educators should devise the simplest and most effective methods of turning minds around. It shouldn’t be the art of implanting sight in the organ, but should proceed on the understanding that the organ already has the capacity, but is improperly aligned and isn’t facing the right way.”
Plato, the Republic
“The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ‘truth’.“
Dan Rather
“Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.“
Sidney Hook
“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.“
John Steinbeck
“Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that’s not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.“
Joe Manchin
“Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.“
Andy Rooney
“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.“
Brad Henry
“The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.“
Elbert Hubbard
“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.“
Robert Frost
“I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.“
Temple Grandin
“One good teacher in a lifetime may sometimes change a delinquent into a solid citizen.“
Philip Wylie
A good teacher must know the rules; a good pupil, the exceptions.
