“Some teachers, the less effective ones, thought that fair meant distributing instruction equally to all students regardless of their needs. The exemplary teachers we studied, however thought fair meant working in ways that evened out differences between students”
“What all good teachers have in common, however, is that they set high standards for their students and do not settle for anything less.”
“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.”
“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!”
“A Teacher is no good without the student and the student is no good without the teacher.”
