Teaching Kids Quotes

“It is a selfish - selfish world - you know why - because nature teaches selfishness, parents teach selfishness, teachers teach selfishness - and by the time a child full of human potential grows up to be an adult, they are no longer human, they end up as modern savage in fancy rags.”

“Great teaching is the ability to distinguish between what can and needs to be explained and what cannot be explained. The working of a computer needs to be explained as it is made by the human mind. But a butterfly need not always be explained. A butterfly has to be seen with gleaming eyes of wonder as it is a natural expression of life and not of the mind. Great teaching is more like a craft than a technique. To evoke the curiosity in the learner, to care for the learner and to take the learner on a journey of discovery are some of the most critical elements of this craft.”

“Throw away such education that teaches a child to be selfish - throw away such education that teaches a child to forget their passion - throw away such education that teaches a child to be like everybody else - throw away such education that produces second hand humans instead of raising original, conscientious beings of character.”

“If you want quiet in the class, join a monastery of bald-headed corpses. Students don't learn by keeping quiet, they learn by actively engaging in the conversation. So, don't try to control your students. If you are teaching right, you'll be in control.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 51 Education alone won't change anything, First we gotta rid education of all archaism. Rather than being a tool of indoctrination, Education oughta be a force of undoctrination. Education ought to be secular, Education ought to be nonsectarian. Sectarianism that passes as education, Is the very antithesis of education. Scriptures can be a part of education, But they mustn't be the basis of education. Cultures can be a part of education, But they mustn't be the basis of education. Any force that claims to liberate the mind, Must first liberate itself from all divide.”

“Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre.”

“We got email today from an LGF reader who was browsing the Lexis research system and discovered that anti-American, anti-capitalist icon Noam Chomsky has embarrassingly capitalist tastes; among other expensive property he owns a 36,155 square foot home near Cambridge, a 13,503 square foot vacation home, and four boats. And we won't even mention the cars. Teaching kids to hate their own country seems to pay quite well.”

“A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.”

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.”

“A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.”

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

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

“I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn't be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.”

“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.”

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.”

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
