Teacher
(page 2)
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.
A good teacher is a determined person.
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.

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.
I was performing at a New Jersey high school, and I asked a class of 2,000 students, 'How many of you love mathematics?' and only one hand went up. And that was the hand of the maths teacher!
Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.
