Ex. 19. Read the following sayings about teacher’s profession and choose those you like best. Give your reasons. Teacher

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. You can teach a lesson for a day but if you teach curiosity, you teach for a lifetime. It’s too bad that the people who really know how to run the country are busy teaching school. When truth stands in your way, you are headed in the wrong direction. When teaching the love of truth, never lose the truth of love. Teacher’s task: take a lot of live wires and see that they are well-grounded. Nothing improves a child’s hearing more than praise.
