“When all the teachers are gone, who will be your teacher?The student replied: “Everything!Kobun, paused, then said: “No, you".”

“A student who considers everybody and everything as a teacher will eventually be the teacher of the teachers!”

“Teachers knew every one of the students, their secrets, their grades, their home situations. And all the students knew the teachers. It was like teachers were people who finally were the most popular at school.”

“If you are a student, try to be a teacher; if you are a teacher, try to be a student!”

“Teachers often fail students by complimenting the successful students and ignoring those who do not prove as successful. Teachers need to embrace and praise all children.”

“It felt like we were reliving the first day of the school year, when students and teachers do the get-to-know-you dance—teachers tell students something about who they are, students pretend to care, and then vice-versa.”
