miracle workers
Education is the miracle; I'm just the worker.
lessons kind persons
Everything I do is kind of a lesson, even if I am the only person who learns it.
teacher thinking needs
Simply put, the best teachers are the ones you work your tail off for because in the end you just don't want them to think any less of you. You want and need their approval.
teacher best-teacher disappoint
The best teachers that I had were always the ones I never wanted to disappoint.
advice speak enough
It is not enough these days to simply QUESTION AUTHORITY. You have to speak with it, too.
lessons-to-be-learned lessons teach
Who can teach when there are such lessons to be learned
children voice soul
Read to your children all of the time Novels and nursery rhymes Autobiographies, even the newspaper It doesn't mater; it's quality time Because once upon a time We grew up on stories in the voices in which they were told We need words to hold us and the world to behold us For us to truly know our souls
kids hard-work honor
You want to know what I make? I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional Medal of Honor and an A-minus feel like a slap in the face.
teacher jobs real
By the time these students enter the workforce, many of the jobs they will apply for ill be in industries that don't even exist yet. That's a hard future to prepare someone for. Teachers have their sights set on the real goal: not to produce Ivy League graduates, but to encourage the development of naturally curious, confident, flexible, and happy learners who are ready for whatever the future has in store.
teacher mistake thinking
Teachers shouldn't make the mistake of always thinking they're the smartest person in the room
teacher parent able
Great teachers will never be able to make up for bad parents, nor should they be expected to.
art teaching memorable
That's what teaching is, the art of explanation: presenting the right information in the right order in a memorable way.
honesty kicking ass
You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking, which is, if you ask for it, then I have to let you have it.
determination believe challenges
I implore you, I entreat you and I challenge you to speak with conviction. To say what you believe in a manner that bespeaks the determination with which you believe it. Because contrary to the wisdom of the bumper sticker, it is not enough these days to simply question authority—you've got to speak with it too.
