Inspiration

What inspires you? Here's some of mine..
"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops"

"Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers"

"We think of the effective teachers we have had over the years with a sense of recognition, but those who have touched our humanity we remember with a deep sense of gratitude"

"The job of an educator is to teach students to see the vitality in themselves."

"Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth."

    I had just come from a job interview at a center in a really upscale community.... walked into my class and saw a new face. One of the four-year-olds turned to the new kid and said, "This is Miss Mary Jo. She has cool games and she knows how to draw spiders." The KIDS are what inspires me. (In case you couldn't guess, I'm still there!)
