A
child miseducated is a child lost.

Modern
cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those
to whom they entrust the minds of their children
a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they
entrust the care of their plumbing.

I
write books to change the world. Perhaps I can
only change one little piece of that world. But
if I can empower teachers and good citizens to
give these children, who are the poorest of the
poor, the same opportunity we give our own kids,
then I'll feel my life has been worth it.

Poverty
is a weapon of mass destruction. Joblessness is
a weapon of mass destruction, homelessness, a
weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon
of mass destruction, fear, a weapon of mass destruction.
We must disarm these weapons and renew our commitment
to quality public schools and dedicated teachers
and good housing and quality health care and decent
jobs and stronger neighborhoods.
-- Dennis Kucinich

Experience
is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting
the lesson.
- Vernon Law
The
important thing is not so much that every child should
be taught, as that every child should be given the wish
to learn.

One
of the marks of a great teacher lies not only
in an ability to impart knowledge but also in
knowing when to encourage a student to go off
on his own.

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

None
of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves
up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody
- a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a
few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.
-- Thurgood

"I
touch the future. I teach."
- Christa McAuliffe.
What
the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.

The
greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to
be able to say, 'The children are now working
as if I did not exist.'
Maria Montessori
