Ok, I blatently ripped this from the Lesson Planet facebook fan page the other day!!!
They asked people what their favorite educational quotes were and when I saw the post, 131 people had already commented, so I wanted to share my favorite ones from among them, thanks to all the lovely people whose comments I'm sharing here.
Let me know what you think of them and feel free to share this post with any parent or anyone you think would appreciate them:
1 - I am not a teacher for the income but for the outcome. (I love this one)
2 - Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm - Joe Clark
3 - No one can be good at everything, but everyone is good at something.
4 - My education was interrupted only by my schooling- Winston Churchill
5 - The only dumb question is the one not asked. (I love this one)
6 - If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. (I love this one)
7 - Do or do not, there is no try - Yoda (I love this one)
8 - When I was 5 my mum told me that happiness was the key to life, When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wrote down 'happy', They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life. (I really love this one)
9 - Those who can, teach.
10 - Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will spend it's whole life believing that it is stupid - Einstein
11 - It's easier to build strong children than it is to fix broken men - Frederick Douglass (I absolutely love this one)

37 - A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after a success (I love this one)

It is a wise man that learns his studies before the class commences
Teach your children they are the best and they will fit it.

Let the children have their fun, you were once one.
Hard work is good exercise.
The best exercise for your body is to work your mind.
