Quotes by Teaching If teaching has any purpose, it is to implant true insight and responsibility. Education must lead us from irresponsible opinion to true responsible judgement. It must lead us from chance and arbitrariness to rational clarity and intellectual order. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe responsibilityteachingorder Great men in teaching weak men to reflect have set them on the road to error. Luc de Clapiers weak-manteachingmen Gangs exist when there are lots of empties in a person, in family, in community. It points out how we need to do more to bring real art, passions, teachings, caring, and resources into the emptiness of young peoples' lives. Luis J. Rodriguez realteachingart I've always been prepared to write about the hard things. Only for healing, teaching, and enlightening purposes not to hurt or disparage anyone. Luis J. Rodriguez teachinghurthealing Rossini would have been a great composer if his teacher had spanked him enough on his backside. Ludwig van Beethoven musicalteachingteacher Four things will shame the students of knowledge: Criticizing people, praising themselves, not teaching the knowledge,and not practicing what they know. Luqman fourteachingpeople Those who would legislate against the teaching of evolution should also legislate against gravity, electricity and the unreasonable velocity of light, and also, should introduce a clause to prevent the use of the telescope, the microscope and the spectroscope or any other instrument of precision which may in the future be invented, constructed or used for the discovery of truth. Luther Burbank lightteachingdiscovery I am basically the sort of person who has stage-fright teaching. I kind of creep into a classroom. I'm not an anecdote-teller, either, although I often wish I were. Lydia Davis anecdotesteachingwish I find teaching - I like it, but I find just walking into the classroom and facing the students very difficult. Lydia Davis classroomstudentsteaching A teacher who can show good, or indeed astounding results while he is teaching, is still not on that account a good teacher, for it may be that, while his pupils are under his immediate influence, he raises them to a level which is not natural to them, without developing their own capacities for work at this level, so that they immediately decline again once the teacher leaves the schoolroom. Ludwig Wittgenstein levelsteachingteacher Nothing is more important for teaching us to understand the concepts we have than to construct fictitious ones. Ludwig Wittgenstein constructsimportantteaching But more classrooms and more teachers are not enough. We must seek an educational system which grows in excellence as it grows in size. This means better training for our teachers. It means preparing youth to enjoy their hours of leisure as well as their hours of labor. It means exploring new techniques of teaching, to find new ways to stimulate the love of learning and the capacity for creation. Lyndon B. Johnson teachingeducationteacher Discipline comes from the same root word as disciple, and implies patience and teaching on our part. It should not be done in anger. Lynn G. Robbins disciplineteachingroots What humans do with the language of mathematics is to describe patterns... To grow mathematically children must be exposed to a rich variety of patterns appropriate to their own lives through which they can see variety, regularity, and interconnections. Lynn Steen teachingmathchildren The lock-step approach of algebra, geometry, and then more algebra (but rarely any statistics) is still dominant in U. S. schools, but hardly anywhere else. This fragmented approach yields effective mathematics education not for the many but for the few primarily those who are independently motivated and who will learn under any conditions. Lynn Steen teachingmathschool Mathematics, in the common lay view, is a static discipline based on formulas...But outside the public view, mathematics continues to grow at a rapid rate...the guid to this growth is not calculation and formulas, but an open ended search for pattern. Lynn Steen teachingviewsmath The Pseudo-liberals monopolize the teaching jobs at many universities. Only men who agree with them are appointed as teachers and instructors of the social sciences, and only textbooks supporting their ideas are used. Ludwig von Mises teachingteacherjobs If you're a "good" teacher, somebody who is responsible or careful, teaching takes time. Teaching is performative. Students nowadays evaluate you and there's a lot made in these evaluations about how you perform. Maybe you don't have the greatest delivery in the world. But you know a lot, have a lot to offer. So that's pretty unsettling. We've become so image-based and performance-based as a society. You have to be ready to appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" at any moment. Lynne Tillman teachingteacherworld What I don't like about teaching is hearing myself say the same thing. I mean, you just want to sort of shoot yourself after a while. But you don't have a million different ways of thinking about what you have been thinking about for many years. And then there's the truism that you're only as good as your students. If they're not into what's going on, it doesn't matter who you are. Lynne Tillman teachingmeanthinking For me it remains an open question whether [this work] pertains to the realm of mathematics or to that of art. M. C.
