         Thoughts While
Getting The Kids Ready To Go Back To School
If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.  Donald D. Quinn

A teacher affects eternity; 
he can never tell where his influence stops.  Henry Brooks Adams

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

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.  Kahlil Gibran

What They Said

The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.

Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher.  
That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number.

The larger the island of knowledge, 
the longer the shoreline of wonder.  Ralph W. Sockman

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.  Aristotle
