I have read like a man on fire my whole life because the genius of English teachers touched me with the dazzling beauty of language. Because of them I rode with Don Quixote and danced with Anna Karenina at a ball in St. Petersburg and lassoed a steer in Lonesome Dove and had nightmares about slavery in Beloved and walked the streets of Dublin in Ulysses and made up a hundred stories in the Arabian nights and saw my mother killed by a baseball in A Prayer for Owen Meany. Ive been in ten thousand cities and have introduced myself to a hundred thousand strangers in my exuberant reading career, all because I listened to my fabulous English teachers and soaked up every single thing those magnificent men and women had to give. I cherish and praise them and thank them for finding me when I was a boy and presenting me with the precious gift of the English language. ” ― Pat Conroy tags: conroy, english, literature, reading, teachers 160 likes like William Glasser “When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.” ― William Glasser tags: education, hsocial-experience, teachers, teaching 139 likes like Ally Carter “The older I got, the smarter my teachers became.” ― Ally Carter, Out of Sight, Out of Time tags: teachers 108 likes like Bruce Coville “The real heroes are the librarians and teachers who at no small risk to themselves refuse to lie down and play dead for censors.” ― Bruce Coville tags: censorship, heroes, librarians, teachers 107 likes like Alexander the Great “I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well. {His teacher was the legendary philosopher Aristotle}” ― Alexander the Great tags: aristotle, debt, father, teacher, teachers 101 likes like Karl A.

Cast “In my ten years of teaching I’ve noticed that teachers tend to have a bad habit of talking to themselves. I hypothesize that this is because we talk for a living, and we feel safe speaking our feelings aloud. Or it could be that most of us, especially the high school teacher variety, are just weird as shit.” ― P.C.
