Teacher Quotes

Teaching creates all other professions. ~Author Unknown

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 who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron. ~Horace Mann


Most teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum or choice of texts or special placement of students, but most have a great deal of autonomy inside the classroom. To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such as police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid. ~Tracy Kidder



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


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




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



Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach. ~Peter Drucker

    2. Teacher Antoine "my distiguishesd teacher" I agree with you on this point and Phil Collins also agree on it by his saying “In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.”
      As if teachers and students can take turns sometimes.
