Quotes by Teaching Whether we're fighting climate change or going to space, everything is moved forward by computers, and we don't have enough people who can code. Teaching young people to code early on can help build skills and confidence and energize the classroom with learning-by-doing opportunities. I learned how to fly a hot air balloon when I was 30,000 feet up and my life was in the balance: you can learn skills at any age but why wait when we can teach everyone to code now! Richard Branson fightingteachingopportunity To teach is to learn... If we ever think we know all there is to know about our creativity we are dead as artists.

Feynman educationalteachingschool I think, however, that there isn't any solution to this problem of education other than to realize that the best teaching can be done only when there is a direct individual relationship between a student and a good teacher - a situation in which the student discusses the ideas, thinks about the things, and talks about the things. It's impossible to learn very much by simply sitting in a lecture, or even by simply doing problems that are assigned. But in our modern times we have so many students to teach that we have to try to find some substitute for the ideal. Richard P. Feynman teachingteacherthinking I verily believe that the kingdom of God advances more on spoken words than it does on essays written and read; on words, that is, in which the present feeling and thought of the teaching mind break into natural and forceful expression.

Ralph Waldo Emerson cheerteachingeducation Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic. Ralph Waldo Emerson distancequalityteaching I don't believe I can really do without teaching. The reason is, I have to have something so that when I don't have any ideas and I'm not getting anywhere, I can say to myself, "At least I'm living; at least I'm doing something. I'm making some contribution." It's just psychological. Richard P. Feynman teachingbelieveideas The chance is high that the truth lies in the fashionable direction.
