“Enlightened teachers get all sorts of assignments. Sometimes we end up in the higher astral; sometimes we end up in the realm of pure spirit; sometimes we end up in the desire realms.

“Eloquence, when at its highest pitch, leaves little room for reason or reflection; but addressing itself entirely to the fancy or the affections, captivates the willing hearers, and subdues their understanding. Happily, this pitch it seldom attains. But what a Tully or a Demosthenes could scarcely effect over a Roman or Athenian audience, every Capuchin, every itinerant or stationary teacher can perform over the generality of mankind, and in a higher degree, by touching such gross and vulgar passions.” LittlesReasonPassionUnderstandingRoomsAudienceTeacherMankindEffectsWillingHigherDegreesHighestReflectionAffectionFancyTouchingVulgarGrossEloquenceGeneralitiesStationaryAthenians Book:An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Source: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

“In the current environment, attributing low student performance to teacher tenure is one of the great unproven causal links out there. The relationship just hasn't been examined very carefully, but we should all recognize that in higher education the strongest institutions generally have the most robust tenure systems, and in elementary and secondary, the states with the strongest teacher unions (and tenure systems) tend to have the highest student performance.” ShouldStatesEnvironmentTeacherStudentsHigherHighestLowsPerformancesInstitutionsUnionsCurrentsStrongestLinksRobustHigher EducationTenureTeachers Unions Author:Nicholas Lemann
“Pride is a mental factor causing us to feel higher or superior to others. Even our study of dharma can be the occasion for the delusion of pride to arise if we think our understanding is superior to that of everyone else. Pride is harmful because it prevents us from accepting fresh knowledge from a qualified teacher. Just as a pool of water cannot collect on the tip of a mountain, so too a reservoir of understanding cannot be established in a mind falsely elevated by pride.” IfsThinkingFeelsMindUnderstandingWaterAcceptingStudyTeacherPrideHigherMountainAriseSuperiorsFactorsOccasionsDelusionPoolQualifiedDharmaReservoirs Author:Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
“"Teachers"... treat students neither coercively nor instrumentally but as joint seekers of truth and of mutual actualization. They help students define moral values not by imposing their own moralities on them but by positing situations that pose hard moral choices and then encouraging conflict and debate. They seek to help students rise to higher stages of moral reasoning and hence to higher levels of principled judgment.” HardHelpingValuesChoicesLevelsSituationMoralTeacherStageStudentsHigherMoralityConflictJudgmentTreatsDebateReasoningMutualJointsSeekersImposingHigher LevelMoral ValuesPrincipledActualizationMoral ChoicesMoral Reasoning Book:Leadership Source: Leadership

“I had a hole in my voice. It's an area in the voice where it's air. It's just - there's no - it's just very airy. And my classical teachers were just so frustrated with me because I would have these deep, low notes that were really strong, and the higher register was strong, but right in that middle area, it was really hard. It was like a passage. And many singers go through this and work it out. But I realized in jazz, I could just take advantage of that and take advantage of having a voice that was very different in different areas.” DifferentHardStrongVoiceTeacherAirMiddleHigherLowsAdvantageAreasJazzNotesSingersI RealizedHolesWorking ItPassagesFrustratedRegisterAiry Author:Cecile McLorin Salvant
