Comment on the statements below.
Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.
Lord Chesterfield.
If you can give your pupil only one gift let it be enthusiasm.
Nobody can be taught faster than he can learn… Every man that has ever undertaken to instruct others can tell what slow advances he has been able to make, and how much patience it requires to recall vagrant inattention, to stimulate sluggish indifference, and to rectify absurd misapprehension.
Samuel Johnson
To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. To attain it we must be able to guess what will interest, we must learn to read the childish soul as we might a piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up the attraction and vary the song.
Henri-Frederic Amiel.
The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.
Anatole France
The truth about teachers is that they are enslaved … in one vast love affair with 70 children.
Sylvia Ashton-Warner
The man who really knows can tell all that is transmissible in a very few words. The economic problem of the teacher (of violin or of language or of anything else) is how to string it out so as to be paid for more lessons.
Ezra Pound.
Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process.
A.Bartlett Giamatti
Teachers believe they have a gift for giving, it drives them with the same
irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a
building.
A.Bartlett Giamatti
A great teacher is a great artist, and you know how few great artists there are in the world.
John Steinbeck
Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.
Mohandas Gandhi
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Albert Einstein

Студенты-педагоги не хотят идти в школу.
«На сегодняшний день в стране сложилось уникальное положение в области подготовки учителей», - было заявлено на заседании Экономического совета Министерства образования, посвященном мониторингу педагогических кадров.
С одной стороны, все педагогические вузы и училища подготавливают огромное количество специалистов, с лихвой покрывающее все потребности школ. Но, с другой – все больше и больше школ по всей стране начинают свой учебный год, ощущая острый недостаток учителей.
Исследования, проведенные в МПГУ им. Ленина в этом году, тому только подтверждение. Лишь четверть студентов-первокурсников собирается по окончании университета пойти работать в школу. То есть подавляющее большинство тех, кто поступил в педагогический университет, не намерены быть педагогами! Дальше – хуже. На пятом курсе число мечтающих посвятить себя школе уменьшается до устрашающих цифр – только 16% пятикурсников физфака и 7,7% (!) – истфака.
Возникает вопрос: кем же покрывается потребность в учительских кадрах? В первую очередь – пенсионерами, проработавшими в школе всю свою жизнь и не мыслящими себя без нее. Тем более, что на одну пенсию прожить сейчас не так-то просто.
Есть еще один источник пополнения школ учителями – непедагогические вузы. В этом учебном году около 1000 выпускников технических университетов и институтов отправились работать педагогами. Всего же более 5% тех, кто заканчивает вузы, не занимающиеся подготовкой педагогов, стали учителями.
Таким образом, можно говорить о том, что педагогические университеты, институты, училища готовят высокопрофессиональные кадры для кого угодно, только не для школы.
