“A teacher is someone who has taken their mind much further than you have. They've gone into the void further. They've seen the luminous realities.

“A "snapshot" feature in USA Today listed the five greatest concerns parents and teachers had about children in the '50s: talking out of turn, chewing gum in class, doing homework, stepping out of line, cleaning their rooms. Then it listed the five top concerns of parents today: drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, suicide and homicide, gang violence, anorexia and bulimia. We can also add AIDS, poverty, and homelessness. . . .

And so I learned how widespread their educational evangelism really was.” PeopleKnowsSaidFatherParentKnownGoneSuccessfulTeacherCollegeImpactEducationalFavorsVery StrongSuccessful PeopleEvangelism Author:Condoleezza Rice

I remember there was a primary school teacher who really woke me up to the joys of school for about one year when I was ten.
