Teachers/School

The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent is eternal
Cicero

Teachers open the door, but you enter by yourself

I tried to teach my child with books;
He gave me only puzzled looks. 
I tried to teach my child with words; 
They passed by him often unheard. 
Despairingly, I turned aside 
"How shall I teach this child," I cried? 
Into my hand he put the key,
"Come," he said, "And play with me".

Never be afraid to try something new.  Remember... Amateurs 
built the ark.  Professionals built the Titanic.

Help students discover their special gifts when others may overlook hidden 
talents.

Remind your students today that every piece of work completed is a 
self-portrait of the one who did it.

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.

Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more.
  ~Bob Talbert

Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts. 
~Author Unknown

The mediocre teacher tells.  The good teacher explains.  The superior teacher demonstrates.  The great teacher inspires.
  ~William Arthur Ward

The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself. 
~Edward Bulwer-Lytton

A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.

What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches. 
~Karl Menninger

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got"
- NLP adage

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited.
- Plutarch

  "To teach is to learn twice."
- Joseph Joubert

  "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn."

Teachers love to hear the pitter patter of little feet... going out to recess

Without teachers, life would have no class.

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere
-- Chinese Proverb

A teacher gives,
a teacher shares,
but most of all
a teacher cares

Behind every successful child is someone who cares

A gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor, and makes far less money.
