The Gates Foundation has learned that two questions can predict how much kids learn: 'Does your teacher use class time well?' and, 'When you're confused, does your teacher help you get straightened out?'

Behind the parents stands the school, and behind the teacher the home.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

You say that I should be your teacher! See to it that I am your pinion and not your brake.

Experience is the only teacher we have.

I am a teacher. It's how I define myself. A good teacher isn't someone who gives the answers out to their kids but is understanding of needs and challenges and gives tools to help other people succeed. That's the way I see myself, so whatever it is that I will do eventually after politics, it'll have to do a lot with teaching.
