Quinn

“The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.” ~ Patricia Cross

Horace Man said it beautifully: "Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care."
