dukkha Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 One I recall after 25 years of teaching is..."The pupil learns despite the teacher"...guess not in all cases though..enjoyed your quotes "The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.""The best teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." I liked these ones, any more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfr Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) The secret to intellectual vitality in the classroom consists of having the student arrive at the conlusion familiar to you but with a sense of having made the discovery all by himself.

PeaceBlondie Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Without talking, a flower teaches us beauty. Christians who think that evangelism should not be a lot of talking and shouting say, "Live the gospel, and if absolutely necessary, explain it in words." A good TEFL course has a lesson on how to teach when having total laryngitis. The bumper sticker says, "If you can read this, thank a teacher."

Ijustwannateach Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 It's a teacher's right to remain a bit obscure. More traditionally: You can lead a horse to water.... (you know the rest) Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day... teach a man to fish and he can eat for a lifetime. If you meet a teacher on the road... kill him.
