The Funny Thing About Teaching

I'm going to take a step off my chosen path to talk about technology and instead...just this once...talk about teaching in general.

The funny thing about teaching is that our goal is for students to not need us anymore and when that happens you have succeeded.

The funny thing about teaching is that a good teacher is actually a good student.

The funny thing about teaching is that we teach so much, but the only thing our students will really remember is our personality, who we were.

The funny thing about teaching is that you have no idea what kind of impact something you say or do might have on a student, both positive/negative and yet you do it every day.

The funny thing about teaching is that you don't have to be a teacher to teach.

The funny thing about teaching is that some of the most valuable lessons aren't in a text book.

The funny thing about teaching is that your classroom goes far beyond the walls of your room.

The funny thing about teaching is that you teach more than just your students.

The funny thing about teaching is that no matter where you are, you're still a teacher.

To be continued....
