"FOR TEACHERS & EDUCATORS"
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
Aristotle
"Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again."
Author Unknown
"Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world's work, and the power to appreciate life."
Brigham Young
"Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows of the world, lighthouses erect in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print."
Barbara Tuchman
"The chief object of education is not to learn things but to unlearn things."
G.K. Chesterton
"A Teacher's success is only measured by the success of his own students--delegate, motivate, rejuvenate!"

Our high school teacher told us this upon realizing that our school did not live up to its mission of efficiently molding the students.

Produce High Achievers,

I wrote this quote for my class the beginning of the year. I wanted my students to know that I expected great things from them and the people who succeed in life, succeed without making excuses.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery everyday. Never lose a holy curiosity."

"I never realized the extent of a teacher's job until I met Mrs. Reid. I was a senior in High School and life was definitely not at it's best. I was searching for something, but I wasn't sure exactly where to find it. Mrs. Reid allowed me to see my own inner strength and beauty. She gave me wings and I had to decide to fly. Her constant encouragement was a blessing from God and now I truly know that God created teachers EXTRA SPECIAL. If it were not for her, I would not be the person I am today; a confidant, well rounded child of God."
