(page 2)
A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson.
I am a teacher. It's how I define myself. A good teacher isn't someone who gives the answers out to their kids but is understanding of needs and challenges and gives tools to help other people succeed. That's the way I see myself, so whatever it is that I will do eventually after politics, it'll have to do a lot with teaching.
Of all the hard jobs around, one of the hardest is being a good teacher.
Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.
Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.
Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.
The funniest memory that I can recall about my school days has to be one incident that involved unfinished homework for numerous days. I didn't do any of my homework for days and days at a stretch, and kept stalling my teacher that I was extremely unwell and was under heavy medication.
A teacher must believe in the value and interest of his subject as a doctor believes in health.
Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
Read something of interest every day — something of interest to you, not to your teacher or your best friend or your minister/rabbi/priest. Comics count. So does poetry. So do editorials in your school newspaper. Or a biography of a rock star. Or an instructional manual. Or the Bible.
I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
There's always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself — whether it's Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc. — because that's the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else.
Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything — even mountains, rivers, plants and trees — should be your teacher.
I worked in theater my whole life. My mom was a drama teacher at my middle school. In high school, I was Drama Club President every year, and then I auditioned for conservatory acting programs.
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
