Teachers shouldn't make the mistake of always thinking they're the smartest person in the room

That's what teaching is, the art of explanation: presenting the right information in the right order in a memorable way.

I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking, which is, if you ask for it, then I have to let you have it.

Here, let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true: Teachers? Teachers make a difference! Now what about you?

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.

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

Everything I do is kind of a lesson, even if I am the only person who learns it.
