Poetry and Sayings

School Days

• Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.



• Remind your students today that every piece of work completed is a self-portrait of the one who did it.



• The object of teaching a child is to enable the child to get along without the teacher.



• Every great teacher discovers that as a child's confidence increases, competence follows.



• Help students discover their special gifts when others may overlook hidden talents.



• Many students have gone so much further than they thought they could because a teacher said they would.



• Students don't care how much you know as a teacher until they know how much you care about them.



• For a teacher to live forever in the heart and memory of even a single child is the best tribute of all.



• Be such a teacher, and live such a life, that if every teacher were like you, and every life such as yours, every classroom would be a child's paradise.



• The only teachers who don't make mistakes in the classroom each day are those in retirement.



• There are two ways of spreading light to your students -- you can be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.



• The aim of education should be to teach us how to think, rather than what to think. To enable us to think for ourselves rather than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.



• It takes so little to make a student happy. Just a smile, a caring comment, an encouraging word, an attentive ear.



• The unexpected courtesy,
  The thoughtful, kindly deed,
  A hand reached out to help me
  In the time of sudden need.
  Thank you, Teacher.
