“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”
“When I first began teaching, I visited with a former teacher who I respected greatly. I asked him for some advice. He responded without hesitation, "A good teacher must love his students." "Love?" I queried. "Yes, love. When you come to care about each student as your very own child, then you'll become a great teacher."”
“Since human beings are highly adaptable it may be possible for an individual with any sort of competence to learn, in the end, according to any teaching strategy. But the experiments show, very clearly indeed, that the rate, quality and durability of learning is crucially dependent upon whether or not the teaching strategy is of a sort that suits the individual”
“If death is the schoolmaster, then life is our homework”
“Instruction does not prevent waste of time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.”
“A master should be paid liberally, in order to secure a person properly qualified.”
