"Compassionate teachers fill a void left by working
parents who aren't able to devote enough attention to their children. Teachers
don't just teach; they can be vital personalities who help young people to
mature, to understand the world and to understand themselves. A good education
consists of much more than useful facts and marketable skills." ~ Charles
Platt
"Teachers,
I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because
their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth."
~ Helen
Caldicott, author and peace activist

dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs
and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a
sharp stick called truth." ~ Dan Rather
"The
whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of
young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards." ~ Anatole France

"There is an old
saying that the course of civilization is a race between catastrophe and
education. In a democracy such as ours, we must make sure that education wins
the race." ~ John F. Kennedy
