• Teaching is an art form of love.
  • If I love who I teach and what I teach, I will be successful. If I don’t love what I teach but love who I teach, I can still be successful. If I love what I teach but don’t love who I teach, there are many other possible professions.
  • Being a teacher empowers me to build worlds. Worlds are built of love and kindness.
    • Worlds are built of love and kindness
  • I only really know that which I have taught to others. We owe so much to our students.
  • To set others aflame, I myself must be on fire. Keep feeding the fire!
  • Walk into class with a well-prepared lesson plan. Have the same respect for the students’ time as I expect them to have for mine.
  • The personal well-being of a single child is far more important than the lesson plan for the entire class.
  • Children rebel. That is how they grow out of childhood. With patience, explain what is the right thing to do. With confidence, expect them to do it. With perseverance, help them do it.
  • When a student has a stomach ache, it’s not a disturbance, it’s an opportunity. Provide a cup of tea and a caring word. Now we have a receptive student with an open heart.
  • Always say the truth, and always keep your word. Children look for role models and they are thrilled when their teacher deserves that title.
  • Preserve the dignity of the students. There’s no positive outcome from pointing out flaws.
  • Provide a cup of tea and a caring word To teach a few droplets well, we must be a reservoir of knowledge. Keep learning!
  • The child who disturbs class the most is the one with the most pain. And the one who needs the most love.
  • My job is that every child should be successful. If a grade 7 student tries her best and fails the test, I must make for her a grade 5 level test, so she will be successful.
  • The average mark of the class is my mark as a teacher.
