Happy Teacher Day

 


good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.  ~Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, translated from Turkish"


Most teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum or choice of texts or special placement of students, but most have a great deal of autonomy inside the classroom.  To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such as police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid.  ~Tracy Kidder

معظم المعلمين لديهم القليل من السيطرة على سياسة المدرسة أو المناهج أو اختيار النصوص أو وضع خاص للطلاب، ولكن معظم لديها قدر كبير من الحكم الذاتي داخل الفصول الدراسية. إلى درجة يتقاسمها المهن الأخرى الوحيدة قليلة، مثل عمل الشرطة، والتعليم العام يرتكز غير مستقرة تعتمد على المهارة والفضيلة للشعب في الجزء السفلي من الهرم المؤس.

  1. We no longer want teachers to consume themselves to light the way for others; we want teachers who in the process of lighting the way for others are progressing and prospering in their personal and professional lives.
