Sayings For Teachers
Revealing sayings for teachers provide an inspirational insight to their duties, struggles, problems, challenges and also their gift. Teachers may be unappreciated by some professionals until they put themselves in the same situation. A gifted teacher is a diamond already polished and one that should be kept not traded or cast aside. "A great teacher is one who can relate information to daily understanding or events that are already within the building blocks of memory and rely less on simple memorization."Good teachers are costly,
but bad teachers cost more.
Bob Talbert
Teaching should be full of ideas
instead of stuffed with facts.

What the teacher is,
is more important than what he teaches.
Karl Menninger
The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you,
who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,
sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."
Dan Rather
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 gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor,
and makes far less money.

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
Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Once children learn how to learn,
nothing is going to narrow their mind.
The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious,
to have one idea spark another.
