The greatest sign of success for a teacher…is to be able to say, “The children are now working as if I did not exist.”

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior.

A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.

I loved school, I loved putting on my uniform and doing homework every day. I was one of those good students that the teachers liked. I guess that’s got to be a pretty nerdy, geeky part of me.

I love history. It was the only thing I did well at in school. I’m not ashamed to admit that I was not a good student but I was great at history.

Don’t try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.

I was a good student when I was a kid, and I did everything I was supposed to do, and I got A’s.

It is difficult for a student to pick a good teacher, but it is more difficult for a teacher to pick a good student.

One reason I like to highlight reading is, reading is the beginnings of the ability to be a good student. And if you can’t read, it’s going to be hard to realize dreams, it’s going to be hard to go to college. So when your teachers say, read – you ought to listen to her.

To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.

I was a reasonably good student in college … My chief interests were scientific. When I entered college, I was devoted to out-of-doors natural history, and my ambition was to be a scientific man of the Audubon, or Wilson, or Baird, or Coues type-a man like Hart Merriam, or Frank Chapman, or Hornaday, to-day.

I was always a good student. I wasn’t the A-plus student, but I studied really hard, and I probably had a 3.2. I always wished that I had the capacity to get straight A’s, but I didn’t. I didn’t beat myself up about it, but I really studied hard for my grades.

I was a good student in school.

When I am performing, I try to follow the advice I give to my students. This can be very hard – I was never a good student and I find I’m no better when I am the teacher.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much
time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

I think school is so important. I was good student. A rebel, but I did well in my studies. I don’t close myself to anything. I liked reading and I still love learning. I loved history and German.

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.

I was a good student. My mom is a teacher, and her side of the family is all teachers. She put a big emphasis on getting good grades.

Somehow I think it was declared very early on that I was the – if not the black sheep of the family, not a very good student.

I wasn’t a good student, and even now I never say that I am better than anybody, but I know I love Jiu Jitsu more than anybody.  I love the energy and that it gets deeper the more you study.

I was a good little boy and a good student. I’ve never been arrested.

You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.

Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.

I always had good students.

The children are now working as if I did not exist.

Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.

I was actually kind of a hot mess in high school. I did a lot of things in high school I’m not proud of. I wasn’t a good student and I wasn’t particularly a good daughter. I wasn’t very engaged.

When I was a kid I was not a good student. I went to the University of Colarado, my grades were poor. I was asked to leave after a year. What I really wanted to do was to be an artist.

I think I was a good student, because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.

Look I’m politically correct, I went to a great school, I was a good student, look, I’m a smart guy.

I hardly ever missed school, and I always got my work in on time. I was a good student and always got top grades.

When I was in high school, I wasn’t a troublemaker. I didn’t get in fights. I was a good student and I had a lot of friends.

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

A good student is one who will teach you something.

When I’m 18 years old, I’m at a friend‘s house. And his uncle looks me in me eye – you know, by this time I’m an over achiever, a pretty good student, etc. And he said I have the answer to your problems. I have the solution to your pain. And he held up this book. It’s a bible. I didn’t know what it was.

I was a good student. By 8th grade, you’ve basically learned everything. By senior year, we was drinking, we was kickin’ it, we was rapping. It wasn’t really like business, hard work.

I have often said that it doesn’t matter to me if a student tells me he is a leader of the left, unless he is a good student. We need good students.

Like, in high school, I was a good student and got straight As. It was very strict and you couldn’t do well there unless you studied very hard, but every time there was any trouble, I was the first person they would be talking to.

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

I didn’t mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.

I was a good student but I was also one of those people that could not got to class and then the day before the exam stay up all night (studying), which I do not recommend doing. But that’s more the kind of thing you do when you’re younger and you’re in college in a band and wanted to party, too.

I think there should be a good balance between being a good student and being able to enjoy your high school life.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

I was a really good student. I was nerdy and ambitious. I was involved with every large theater production at my school.

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

When the good student chooses the honest path, free of perfectionism and faking, music study becomes something refreshingly new: a calm oasis of self-acceptance for those who are so used to driving themselves and trying to please others.

I was really not a good student, and I felt that shame every day. That’s one of the reasons I started smoking pot and drinking daily.

I had no confidence at school. I was not a good student and I really thought I was pretty stupid. Just dumb.
