Meditations for Teachers

Dear teacher and mates:

I would like to share this maxims with you since I think they provide welcome doses of positive reinforcements to the act of teaching.

• We gain more knowledge about a subject and how to teach it from our pupils than from any book.

• "Every September is like Christmas, and every student, a surprise gift to open" Mary Vissilikou Bicouvaris (1989 - U.S.A Teacher of the Year)

• "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tells where his influence stops" Henry Brooks Adams

• "A child whith low self-esteem has no reason to respect anyone else. First, teach children of their own value. They will then understand how to respect others"
