“If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one
time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't
want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor,
lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with
professional excellence for nine months, then he might have
some conception of the classroom teacher's job.” Donald D.
Quinn
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The
superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”
William Arthur Ward
