Quotes about Children and Education

"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
                                                                ~Anonomoyous
"To be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner.  Instruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from the learner, but yourself in his place so that you may understand what he understands and the way he understands it."
                                                                 ~Soren Kierkgaard 

"The important thing is not so much that children should be taught, as they should be given the wish to learn." 
                                                                  ~John Lubbock

  1. Jamie,
    I love the quote about how you made children feel. That is so important. I often wonder how my own children feel when I am disciplining them. I know that there are times when I have to be tough but I would also like for them to know that I love them.

    Thanks for the great posts and thanks for sharing your personal experiences.

  2. Your first quote is so true! What children hear during their lifetime follows them trough their life. A child's childhood lesson are the foundation that continuously builds as the child grows.

    Thank you for all your posts! I have learned a lot from you thoughts and appreciate the time you spent putting them together for the rest of us to read and learn. I want to wish you the best of luck in your future classes :)
