3 December 2020 David E. Price The impending teacher shortage is the most critical education issue we will face in the next decade.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Carter In this outward and physical ceremony we attest once again to the inner and spiritual strength of our Nation. As my high school teacher, Miss Julia Coleman, used to say: ‘We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.’
3 December 2020 Robert Gibbs I watch too much cable, I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout – but I know that’s not a view held by many, nor were the views I was frustrated about.
3 December 2020 Sloane Crosley My mother is a special education teacher but also an artist, and my father an advertising executive. They are about as wacky as you can get without being alcoholics.

3 December 2020 Haruki Murakami I didn’t read so much Japanese literature. Because my father was a teacher of Japanese literature, I just wanted to do something else.
3 December 2020 Ken Wilber What is it in you that brings you to a spiritual teacher in the first place? It’s not the spirit in you, since that is already enlightened, and has no need to seek. No, it is the ego in you that brings you to a teacher.
3 December 2020 Andrew Shue I’d never been a teacher before, and here I was starting my first day with these eager students. There was a shortage of teachers, and they had been without a math teacher for six months. They were so excited to learn math.
3 December 2020 Ellen Ochoa A hallmark of the Latino community is to help one another, if students are interested in a way to give back and help their communities, becoming a teacher is probably one of the very best ways of doing that.

3 December 2020 Karlie Kloss I love kids, so two things that I have thought about are being a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher.
3 December 2020 Carl Rogers I believe that the testing of the student’s achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.
3 December 2020 Laura Benanti My mother was an actress and my voice teacher, an incredible voice teacher. My biological father is an actor, and my stepfather, who raised me along with my mother, is a psychotherapist. I was always supported in creative ventures.

3 December 2020 John Henrik Clarke A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience’s attention, then he can teach his lesson.

3 December 2020 George J. Mitchell When I went to college, my goal was to be a college history teacher. I majored in history.
3 December 2020 Alexander the Great I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.
