Zig Ziglar

One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil.

He's shown in a lot of areas how he's matured. You see him in the halls, you watch his focus in the classroom. He's coming off his best semester ever academically. He gets it now.

Nicole Gosselin

There is that pressure from the administrators who ask the teachers 'Why is [only] 40 percent of your class passing?' because they are under the gun, too. The blame game is what drains teachers because they are pedaling and not getting anywhere. There are all sorts of fingers pointing at you, then you eventually get a burned-out teacher and they will pass the students so they don't get ragged on.

Carol Clarke

On my first day of Jr. High I was in Geography class, and the teacher asked us if anybody knew the names of the continents. And I was sooo excited. I was like, Damnit!

Kiwame Kono

No. 1 is dealing with their teachers; they feel like say a teacher is wrong - no one wants to believe them or that the teacher is always right. We teach them that the teacher might not always be right, but that isn't a battle that you can win by getting up and acting out in class.

Kareem Evans

I knew I was a good teacher. But we are constantly having to prove we are doing a good job. (By passing the test) I have proven myself to others. I've been impressed by the level of respect I get.

Angela Williams

She has been a great mentor, friend and teacher to a lot of people, myself included. It's very hard to see a fixture like Barbara Bates leave, but Towson is definitely getting an excellent asset.

Greg Kelly

He was a fine teacher in the classroom. The worst thing that he could have done for me was to retire.

There were a lot of things that were concerning me about this school before this. My son hasn't even had an English teacher all year, and the classes are so out of control.

Angela Williams

If I wasn't an actor, I'd be a teacher, a history teacher. After all, teaching is very much like performing. A teacher is an actor, in a way. It takes a great deal to get, and hold, a class. I thought that, perhaps, when I'm in my 50s, I'll be a history teacher. That still might happen.

Richard Dreyfuss

This administration has taken the FCAT as a sole determinant. And now it will determine whether a teacher is doing a good job and we think there is so much more to it. There are so many things a teacher does in the classroom such as, classroom management, understanding his or her students and finding ways to reach the students. This provides a narrow approach to determine an outstanding teacher.

Mark Pudlow

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

"Experience is the best teacher, but the tuition is high."

Norwegian Proverb

Banned Books Week is nothing more than a promotion of intolerance towards any librarian, teacher, or parent who questions the wisdom of giving adult material to children, Schools and libraries should be family oriented toward parents and safe places for children.

Louis D. Brandeis

I honestly don't think a child-development teacher could tell they were substance-exposed.

Keith Scott

There are better ways of doing things than to just implement it on us. It hurt a lot of teachers that we couldn't compromise. For every one bad teacher you get several good ones. We don't want the collective bargaining changed for one bad teacher.

Tim Marchant

It's the abuse of the results, like judging a teacher solely on their test scores.

Patricia Brown

The way Greenville is beating our pants off is not with their 2 and 3 percent higher salaries. They are offering new teachers a brand new classroom, while we are offering that new teacher a broken-down portable. Now where would you choose to teach?

Alex Saitta

But there?s nothing to prevent a board from appointing a teacher or anyone else in an advisory capacity. We do know of districts that have student representatives, but we don?t know of any cases of teachers who have actually been appointed to such positions.

Brent Ghan

It was a little weird at first because we're being taught by a teacher from a video screen and we communicate through a microphone. We're actually interacting with students in a totally different state.

Connie Collins

Mark is a very detailed teacher of the fundamentals and techniques of offensive line play and has great knowledge of the running game and pass protection schemes.

Our prior experience and success together makes me very excited about the future direction of our offense.

Frank Cignetti

The projects we fund are in conjunction with the administration of the two schools, the superintendent and the school board. We're also trying to work with the Parent Teacher Association. It makes no sense to be in competition, and we're much better (now) at doing that.

Doug Edler

Whether it's buying books or finding supplies or whatever to help teacher continue teaching, it really amazing to see something that seems so small on paper really affect kids in the classroom.

I never anticipated and never applied. It (a head coaching job) is nothing I ever really aspired to. I?m a teacher first and a coach second.

The parent should give their child to the coach and trust them. The coach's role is being a teacher and parents shouldn't interrupt.

Bradford Beckwith

There's an old adage. Parents shouldn't be friends to their children and neither should teachers. As soon as that happens, the relationship is not what it's supposed to be. Anyone who suspects a teacher is too friendly should investigate that.

Deborah Gust

My third-grade teacher hung my dinosaur paintings behind her desk and it was all over from there. I've really been painting pretty seriously for the past 15 years and just in the past two years started to exhibit pretty seriously.

It was never shameful to learn from any teacher things that are useful to know.

Luke Driver

The public library system of America is one of the great treasures of this country, and reading is the entry way to everything -- to personal fulfillment as well as to the future dynamism of our whole society, ...

James Billington

Every child grows; everything depends on the teacher.

Shinichi Suzuki

When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied: 'Only stand out of my light.'

John W. Gardner

If we finished our work, the teacher would say, 'Now don't read ahead.' But sometimes I hid the book I was reading behind my geography book and did read ahead. You can hide a lot behind a geography book.

I've heard from some of her students that she was the very best teacher they'd ever had.

I really like words and I like to make them fun. Being an actor, teacher and a playwright, words are pretty important.

Gay Hammond

Jacqui Rivait

I just don't understand it. These are seniors. How can they compete on the ACT and SAT when they haven't had a teacher?

Pam King

I like Morrie a lot. Like him, I'm a teacher and I'm also Jewish. For some in the academic world, sociology is not considered to be a rigorous science. That may be true, but Morrie must have been a very charismatic guy even if he wasn't the deepest of thinkers. The genius of his insights and how he refined the things he learned in life and passed them along are really what this story is all about.

Harold Gould

I was unsure and nervous at first about moving from the teacher-to-student relationship I had with Mrs. McCord to a teacher-to-teacher relationship. It didn't take long for her to put me at ease.

She expected people to do the best that they could. But there was always an underlying kindness and love in everything she did.

Sister Therese Vaulet

Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.

So the teacher gets all this information and right there knows what this student is all about and what she needs to do for instruction. What the problems are, what the strengths are.

Mikhail Gorbachev

I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.

Art Tragesser

Our hope is that she will work with us to help improve the many programs on urban leadership and teacher education we have in the college.

Steve Yussen

It crosses the line of student-teacher relations. There's no acceptable reason for why a teacher would do that. You hold your teachers to a higher standard; you expect them to respect your child.

Lucy Berry

Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child's coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself.

Louis L'Amour

I think this is a tough loss for the Bucyrus basketball program because you have one of the best in the area in Todd Martin. He got kids to buy into his program. I respect Todd's decision. Todd is a class person. Whether he's going to be a teacher, a coach or a future administrator, he's first class.

David Sheldon

It's reckless for the defense not to ask. But it's like asking the teacher for the homework assignment ? you are not going to like the answer you get.

Dan Cogdell

He had a great mixture of an engineer's mind and the creativity of an artist. He was one of the most impressive young men I've ever met. I am so proud to have been his teacher.

Ambrose Bierce

It was God who made me so beautiful. If I weren't, then I'd be a teacher.

Linda Evangelista

We use two books in our course, the Bible and the student textbook and the value of the student textbook is that it helps the teacher not veer away from first amendment standards but in addition this book is filled with the most beautiful art and examples of poetry and literature and music and art and culture.

Sheila Weber

The day they tell me I can't hug them (my students), I'll quit. As an elementary teacher, my kids know that when they need a hug, there's one there for them. . . . (But) were I a teacher in a junior high or high school, I would not be hugging the kids.

Pat Rusk

I didn't have a teacher like Sister Mary Ignatius, ... But I believed everything my teachers and many in my family said.

Christopher Durang

I think the recognition program is a valuable way of recognizing contributions from individuals whether they're teacher or administrators. It's also a way of us informing the community ... I think it's also a way of learning from our own peers.

Javier Aguirre

[Her students notice.] I have had students sit and talk with me and say, 'Look at your car compared to our cars,' ... They say, 'Why would anybody want to be a teacher?'

Stephanie King

[T]he seeds of [the Argument Culture] can be found our classrooms, where a teacher will introduce an article or an idea . . . setting up debates where people learn not to listen to each other because they're so busy trying to win the debate.

Deborah Tannen

The parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptical, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists.

I just had an incident where someone sent a student a text message in the middle of class. He had the ringer on vibrate, but he didn't have the text message tone on vibrate. The phone rang and the teacher confiscated the phone.

Barbara Ross

If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

Bill Gates

The bright side is that we can increase teacher pay and you end up saving money.

Fred Butcher

With version 1, we've focused on consumers and families but there is definitely a need for classroom situations so we're looking into that for future versions - specifically, the ability to apply a policy that administrator or teacher can set up across multiple PCs.

Alan Packer

I'm just so looking forward to seeing Dick Cheney because it's like the sighting of a rare white elk when he shows up. And I don't even think it's Dick Cheney anymore. We see him so rarely ... that I think he may be my old shop teacher.

Lewis Black

Katie Hogan, a teaching scholar, and Mary Farmer, our fellow and an award-winning teacher from Illinois, will discuss what they think future teachers should know and things you won't learn in class.

Dakota Pawlicki

It's important that their first experiences are good ones. Good weather, good snow and a skilled teacher all help.

Shannon Kipp

I'm very impressed, and I've been a math teacher for 15 years. I'm going to go back and tell everyone in Rutherford County that if we don't get on the bandwagon, then we'll be behind.

Robin Taylor

The award for Larry Cox was very nice. I knew him. He was my D.A.R.E. teacher in fifth grade when I went to Tiffin.

Micah Clark

He was actually delighted that I was still there working that late, ... That was the sort of environment he created. He pushed people reasonably hard, but he balanced that by being a very compelling, almost Moses-like teacher. He knew what he wanted. You're unlikely to ever meet someone who had a more intense and focused mind than Rick.

Jim Heath

These astoundingly beautiful photographs give a rounded portrait of Ansel Adams the person - as artist, author, teacher and spokesperson for photography.

Malcolm Rogers

There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.

Berenice Abbott

Her physical-education teacher in junior high was always impressed with her running talent.

Karen Anderson

Dan makes over $200,000 a year. Marjorie makes about $60,000 a year as a teacher. Do you really think they care about an extra $15,000? This is ridiculous.

Gabriel Polk

We've seen so much enthusiasm for this program in Orlando and Atlanta. The seniors are eager to go online and use email, and the students are proud of their role as teacher and mentor - ultimately we'd like to bring this program to schools and senior centers across the country.

Dan Greenfield

A classmate recognized Nathalie from the ADVO card and brought it to show her teacher.

Ken Brown

That guy is one of the first people I would hire if I had a chance to put together a staff. He's a dedicated, organized, self-motivated guy, and a tremendous teacher.

Greg Olson

Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself.

John Jay Chapman

The Toyota Family Literacy Teacher of the Year award recognizes teachers who often are the unsung heroes of our society and who now, more than ever, have the daunting challenge of positioning children and families to succeed.

Lauren Roberts

Why not whip the teacher when the pupil misbehaves?

Jennifer Levesque

I was influenced, or inspired by, my kindergarten teacher. I wanted to be just like her.

Diana Light

Shared laughter creates a bond of friendships. When people laugh together, they cease to be young and old, teacher and pupils, worker and boss. They become a single group of human beings.

It's a great opportunity. I've always dreamed of going from being a student in the program to being a teacher.

The kids have bought into the program and believe in what they are doing. Most of them have been starting for two years or more, and nothing is a better team teacher than experience in football. The last two years we've made positive strides, so hopefully, this trend will continue.

Bob Holmes

She's extremely fun. Even though she's a fun teacher, she's also structured and organized and I like that.

Raphael Tulino

I was looking around for study guides for college algebra. As a first-grade teacher, I don't use college algebra.

Quinton Foreman

I think every teacher should be like her because she makes it so fun.

Debra Williamson

Some adults feel intimidated by school, intimidated by the teacher, intimidated by the kind of homework their children are bringing home. It makes it difficult to be a part of things if you don't have the skills you need.

Debra Conner

Timothy Mcveigh

As a kindergarten teacher, I feel secure having her here. These kids are young, and they rely on her.

I print out the roster and use it when calling on students in class. Learning first names assists in the learning process. A relationship between the teacher and student develops from that.

She was authentic - a very loving, caring, strong and effective teacher. She was loved, very much, by her students and the staff alike.

I am trying to paint a picture of hope. They have always been a teacher whether they realize it or not.

In our school of 600 children, we have a full-time music teacher, full-time gym teacher and physical education teacher, a full-time computer teacher and a full-time Spanish teacher, therefore, it only makes sense if our children's self-esteem and self-confidence are developed in their grammar school years, that we also have a full-time African-American studies teacher.

There is mold in the classroom. The heating and AC units leak. I have seen teachers have to move students out of the way because the AC unit is leaking on one side of the class. I saw a teacher move a row of kids over because water was leaking on one side of the room.

It provided me with a tremendous sense of accomplishment and pride. Being certified has also opened many doors to me professionally, such as invitations to workshops, conferences and professional teacher exchanges.

It's gonna come down ultimately to the connection that the teacher makes with that child. It's that simple.

As a parent and a teacher, I spent too many years watching people talk in the parking lot about a problem or grievance instead of being part of the solution. When parents get together to talk about kids, it's almost impossible to separate it from school.

We're of course dazzled by his intelligence. This is a guy who we hired as a math teacher who is brilliant with words and crossword puzzles. For a school like Choate, it's great to see someone range across disciplines with the quality of mind that he has.

Stephen Farrell

She didn't say anything, her teacher didn't say anything, the mother didn't say anything. So the contest proceeded.

Steve Mulvenon

It's a very ancient saying, But a true and honest thought, That if you become a teacher, By your pupils you'll be taught.
