Education is the miracle; I'm just the worker.

Great teachers will never be able to make up for bad parents, nor should they be expected to.

Certainly teachers themselves can do a better job of letting the world know how hard their profession is, but frankly, they have real work to do and a lot of it, so they don't have a whole lot of free time on their hands.

A poem is the perfect place to celebrate imperfection and exult in the ways you fall short of being the person you want to be.

Simply put, the best teachers are the ones you work your tail off for because in the end you just don't want them to think any less of you. You want and need their approval.

The only thing that surprises me is the characterization of teachers as lazy and greedy. Only someone with very little understanding of what teaching requires would say such a thing.

The best teachers that I had were always the ones I never wanted to disappoint.
