A Teacher's Reflections 
Nice quote
Thank you.
A good collection! I hate hearing, “Anyone can teach.” … but I won’t pontificate. 😉
Well said!
All good and applicable!
Yes!

I’m glad you liked them!
Wonderful quotes!
Yes!
I wholeheartedly concur!

Charles finds so many great quotes. Thanks for sharing these, Jennie. 🙂
He really does! Best to you, Diana.
Marvelous. Thanks for sharing, Jennie. Hugs on the wing!
Hugs to you, Teagan!
Charles does it again! Thanks, Jennie.
Best wishes, Pete.
He does! Best to you, Pete.
Charles French has gathered some wonderful quotes about teaching not the least of which is his very own! I like it so very much that I am tempted to make a slight alteration and keep it for myself by substituting “nursing” for “teaching”…but that would be most unseemly would it not? I must add one more quote that YOU beautifully exemplify : “The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.” – Mark Van Doren. Thank-you!
I think Charles would be honored if you kept his quote and substituted “nursing”. Ooo…I love your quote! Thank you!!
Jennie, thank you so much!
You are welcome, Charles!
I like the Dalai-Lama’ quote. Oh , hell, they’re all good. From all my experience in education, as student, a teacher and a parent, I’ve repeatedly said, ‘a good teacher is worth his/her weight in gold’. You’re a great example. Back up your car to Fort Knox and help yourself!
Haha! Yes, they’re all good quotes. And speaking of teaching, there’s none better than that Curbside Classroom teacher. 🙂
They’re all excellent quotes, but my favorite two are Charles’s and Aristotle’s thoughts.
Mine is Malala’s quote, yet they’re all excellent.
yes, I heard a teacher say it’s Friday thank you! Myself included, and I felt bead because deep down I know if I am thinking this then surely, I am doing it wrong.
Don’t be hard on yourself. I feel that way often on Fridays, which just means I’m tired.
I suppose, Thanks
Charle’s quote is so true, and you like Norah, Ritu and many others are witnesses for it. Thanks, and best wishes! xx Michael
We are the lucky ones, Michael!
This definitely brightens my day. Thank you, Jennie!
I’m glad you liked it, Kally!
Love! 💓

I used Malala’s memoir for my 7th grade English class last year to teach growth mindset! Loved her passion to learn and appreciation for education.
You chose wisely. Yes, her passion for learning and education is the best!
