The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth. " Dan Rather
A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary. Thomas Carruthers
***Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. ***
etc. etc. etc…
I’m sorry but I don’t see this any more… it seems like the above quotes are talking about a fairy tale profession.
I’ve heard these sorts of things stated for a lot of my colleagues as well as my own teachers. I guess it just depends on where you are and who you have encountered.
