A TEACHER

TEACHER

In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years. Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions.A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures. Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach.
